My other post on the subject notwithstanding, I agree. When I get time/when I get a round tuit, I'd like to do a performance test on the (short) IP RegEx against what you have outlined: explode against "." run resultant array through 0-255 validation function - and still have the semantic issues of 0.0.0.0, etc...
