Given that you need to find the dhcp client and count on it having the
lease file open on a particular descriptor, I would call this not very
nice.
Why don't you know the IP address already, since you're responsible
for providing it?
grepping around /proc shows /proc/net/arp. The UML arp cache won't
have its own IP, but the host's will, if there has been traffic
recently. You need to know the UML's MAC, so I dunno if this is
helpful.
