Why not just use the pure decimal form? 168427777 -> 10.10.1.1 For IPv4 the BSD/Posix-Network stack accepts them anyway > >bonus: your old regex ^[0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*$ will still work bonus: regex is just: ^[0-9]*$ or even ^\d+$ But joking aside: What I'm missing here is the beauty of IPv6 subnet topology: Because we have so much quibbles it's easier to organize your networks: 2001:db8:<customer>:<vlan>::/64 e.g. 2001:db8:4321:7::/64 In the IPv4 net many are scattered (right now) Anton
