 Hello Chuck,

 You should be able to use `Func`
 [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/ref/models/expressions/#func-
 expressions for this purpose].

 {{{#!python
 from django.db import models
 from django.db.models import Func, F

 Model.objects.annotate(
    ip=Func(F('iplong'), function='INET_NTOA',
 output_field=models.CharField(max_length=15)),
 ).values('ip').annotate(count=Count('*')).order_by('-count')
 }}}

 You can even define your own `Func` subclass and use it instead.

 {{{#!python
 class INetNTOA(Func):
    function = 'INET_NTOA'
    output_field = models.CharField(max_length=15)

 Model.objects.annotate(
    ip=INetNTOA(F('iplong')),
 ).values('ip').annotate(count=Count('*')).order_by('-count')
 }}}
