As you know IP address in just 32-bit number. Many browsers (including
NS and IE4+ as far as I know) support both the regilar
"number.dot.number..." form and specifying IP as-is (e.g. as 32-bit
decimal number). To convert from 32-bit numeric form to the regular
one simply convert the number to hex and then convert all 4 bytes to
decimal separately.
Note: using such form won't really hide the IP address, it will only
make it harder to read. Also, some proxy servers (particularely squid)
don't support it.
