That is a interesting idea. Convert ip matches to fixed patterns, and
*then* match the regex. I think I would convert hex matches to the same
pattern as decimal (and roman numeral). How would you handle zero fill?

An idea I had last night is to precompile 254 regexes - one for each of
the possible last ip bytes. However, your idea is cleaner - except, how
would it handle ip bytes that are the same: 1.2.2.2
Mitja has proposed a scoring system reminiscent of SpamAssassin.
This gives me a few things to try.
