That was what I meant. :-)
Check for IP in hostname? Does anyone have actual stats, that it's somehow better than a generic \d+-\d+ regex or whatever? Sometimes it's just better to KISS.
I don't have any stats now, but I use a similar check in our selective grey listing and once checked stats for that.
There was a clear difference (catching more fqdns with fewer FPs) when I changed from a simple check to a more complex one.
(Comparing the fqdn with the IP address allows you to match patterns that might otherwise lead to FPs.)
