I'm no expert on regex's, but IP @'s are not all that easy to match and
validate at the same time. There is a good discussion of precisely this
problem in Chap 4 of "Mastering Regular Expressions" by J E F Friedl, pub
O'Reilly, at pp 123-125. He concludes:-
"Sometimes it's better to take some of the work out of the regex. For
example, going back to
^\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}$
and wrapping each component in parentheses will stuff the numbers into $1,
$2, $3 and $4, which can then be validated by other programming constructs".
The discussion context is Perl specifically.
