Hello all,
I just discovered Postgres (after having used MySQL for some time), and it has some IP datatypes. I'm looking to stuff all of our IP allocations into a db for easier allocation/tracking, and I'm just thrilled to see that I can store IPs/networks natively.
Before I get too far into this, are there any pre-existing packages out there to help manage IP allocation? Does anyone have anything homegrown, and would you be willing to share some pieces, even just a schema, or advice? I don't want to dive in and find that I've laid everything out poorly and painted myself into a corner...
Go look in the archives around May-july for posts from me. I've done exactly this, and shared SOME of my stuff. I can't release any more, but it's in the archives.
Thanks,
Charles
