Riddle me this ...

        That is NOT an IPv6 address. I... won't explain why, lest I
end up flaming James.

        IPv4 addresses can be converted into a "base 10" number; that
is, one that doesn't use octets.

        See: http://www.network-tools.com/help/ ; scroll down a bit
for an explanation and example. Of how that encoding format works.

        Cheers,
