NGPR: How to mention job posting to boss? (kinda long)

Hi ladies. Try to follow me....

I have been with company since 11/2004 but transferred to their Atlanta region in 10/2008 (so fairly new position I am in now). I just saw a GREAT posting that I would LOVE to apply to and is exactly the direction I am looking to go in. This new position would not report to my current boss. Code of ethics is to mention my interest to boss before inquiring. I have a few ideas of my own about how to mention it to him but what are your ideas?

 Thanks.

    I would just tell him, "I found this new position I'm very interested in, I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking about applying for it."  No need to add any fluff just tell him straight up.

    Tell him that you are always keeping an eye out for new opportunities.  Tell him about the position that you saw and ask him if he thinks you would be a good candidate (you'll probably need his recommendation, anyway).  Ask him for advice about moving forward and what he knows about that department, etc.

    Thanks ladies. I was thinking about the direct approach since that is just my personality... no fluff but I feel like sometimes it gets me in trouble. Right now, during this economy, I am so glad to have a job period that i am worried to even think about switching jobs.
