Hello,

I have a few questions about the address table:

1. Does it support IPv6 addresses?
2. Along with quad-doted IPv4, there are also the plans to support other 
IPv4 formats like octal or hexa for IP-addresses? For example 
0102.0146.015.0143 <http://0102.0146.015.0143/>(one www.google.com's IP)

I am very new to permission module but maybe this cases need to be 
handled also...

Marius
