I want to write a function to retrieve the current IP address of a computer.
All the examples I've seen rely on taking the first address from a list.
But I'm in something of a predicament -- that address isn't always right.
For example, if my computer is connected to a VPN, the address I want (the
one associated with the VPN) might be the third entry in the list! Is there
some more intelligent way to determine what the "correct" address is?

Ping each address to see if it's live?
