Not only that, you could enter 900.999.123.000. There are perl libraries that are very good at this. If you don't want to go that route, you could parse the octets into separate fields, then check those. There was also a thread a couple of months back that had a very very long qual that could be used to evaluate the value.

** Anyone have suggestions for matching an IP address pattern (###.###.###.###) in a Character Field? I could use [0-9][0-9][0-9].[0-9][0-9][0-9].[0-9][0-9][0-9].[0-9][0-9][0-9] - but then I have to enter the address as 010.010.001.001.
