Your question is a bit vague. If you only have a single IP address, you 
could pass it in as an environment variable when you start Asterisk. Like:

                 ADDRESS=$(ifconfig eth0\
                         | tr ":" " "\
                         | awk '/inet addr/ {print $3}')
                 nice --adjustment=-20\
                         env --ignore-environment\
                                 ADDRESS=${ADDRESS}\
                                         $ASTERISK $START_OPTIONS

(I just hacked this out as an example.)

If you have multiple IP addresses on the box, good luck :)

Thanks in advance,
