current IP address

My registrar requires A records for domain mapping. Where can I get a current IP address?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi –
What domain are you trying to map? It’s not very common that the IPs are needed. In fact, we prefer that you use name servers. The reason being that IPs are updated over time, and when that happens, the site will break until you update those manually. Name servers are a constant value and your registrar should be able to use those.
Check out step #2 here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
Another option is to transfer the domain over to WordPress.com: https://en.support.wordpress.com/incoming-domain-transfer/
Once you’ve added a plan to the account you’ll be able to connect the domain.
If the registrar is insistent about using the IPs, provide them the following.
NS1.wordpress.com is 192.0.74.9 NS2.wordpress.com is 198.181.117.9 NS3.wordpress.com is 198.181.116.9
