| | 26 | |

| | 31 | Regular expressions are much too powerful for the simple task of matching an IP or IP range, but to keep things simple for users the design is equal to the content based regular expressions. You simple can specify full IPV4 |
| | 32 | addresses even if the dot has special meaning, as the match will work correctly. Only when matching partial addresses more care is needed. |
