//! Tries to determine the local IP address with which we will connect
//! to the DIM dns.
//!
//! The local IP address is necessary because in some circumstances
//! Dim needs the IP address of the connecting machine (DIM_HOST_NODE)
//! for the clients to correctly connect to them. So what we would
//! need is the IP address over which the machine is reachable from
//! the client. Unfortunately, we have no access to the client
//! connection, hence, we have to find the best guess of an address
//! which is not our own machine and hope it is routed over the
//! standard ethernet interface over which other clients will connect.
//!
//! To not send random packages over the network we use a local
//! IP address. To make sure it is something which leaves the network
//! card and is not just our machine, we can use a broadcast address.
//! Consequently, the deafult has been chosen to be "192.168.0.255"
//!
//! @param dns
//!     Address of the Dim-dns
//!
//! @returns
//!     The IP Address through which the connection to the DNS will
//!     take place.
//!
//! @todo
//!     Implement a --host command line option (just in case)
//!
