Changing pi-hole ip-address without running reconfigure (pihole -r) in raspi os buster

FTL will determine the current IP bound to the interface the query arrived on. (This does not mean your device doesn't need a static IP!)

It does this only in cases dhcpcd5 is already installed (i.e on Rapsberry Pi OS). For all other distributions you need to set a static IP manually.

Pi-hole is not meant to be a network monitoring tool. But Pull requests adding this (back) are always welcome.
