For pcre, the man page is not clear. It says:

  Each  pattern  is  a  regular  expression that is applied to the entire
  string being looked up. Depending on the application, that string is an
  entire  client hostname, an entire client IP address, or an entire mail
  address.

But where is it described whether the string is an entire client
hostname, an entire client IP address, or an entire mail address?

According to your example, the string is an entire client hostname.
But then, this means that one cannot match IP addresses.
