I realize the gateway and DHCP server can be different. I was hoping that somebody in the BSD TCP stack saved the address of the server who game the current lease and there was an easy way to get at it.

It doesn't work that way. The BSD TCP stack knows virtually *nothing* about DHCP. DHCP is done by a user space program, configd, and the interface to configd is the System Configuration framework. That's as low as it goes.

Why do you want to get this from BSD rather than from SCF?
