Hi, I am planning to validate an IP which is accepted part of input from user in cinder, I need to verify if IP address is valid and it is up in the network. The dirty way or only way that I know as of now is to create a socket object and perform inet_aton()and gethostbyaddr() Jut worried if these operations are safe to perform. -- Thanks, Ibad Khan 9686594607 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
