Running a script how? What's in the script?
I created exec/test.js containing a single line:
print(client.socket.local_ip_address);
And then when I run that script from the BBS, I get the IP address I expect:
;exec ?test.js
71.95.196.36

My servers aren't behind NAT, so that's expected. I guess if you want to find the *public* IP address associated with your hostname and your server is behind a NAT, then I guess the method you originally provided is (only?) way.
