in reply to Don't Use Regular Expressions To Parse IP Addresses!
I prefer to use inet_ntop/inet_pton instead of inet_ntoa/inet_aton. These functions also accept IPv6 addresses, making porting to IPv6 much easier. In fact, with the right functions its not too difficult to write family-independent (IPv4 or IPv6) programs. IPv6 users will thank you.
