I'm not quite sure I follow you -
Merely checking for three "dots" would allow for non-numeric
picks such as
mail.arc.nasa.gov
which is clearly not an 'ip_addr' classic 'dotQuad' format.
the Regular Expression I put foward there has 'three' "dots"
that seperate digital structures of one to three digits.
I assert that this is a possible IP_Addr - since the regEx
would allow
255.255.255.255
0.0.0.0
as well as the RFC1918 classes and all of the 'irrationals'
eg: any decimal 256-999 in any of the places - which are
clearly not at all acceptable....
But I thought I would leave sorting those out as an exercise for the
reader.
