<beancounter>That works "only" for IPv4 addresses.</beancounter>.

We are running out of IPv4 addresses, and the only alternative to massive (ab)use of NAT is to switch to IPv6 really soon now(TM). In that light, new applications should be able to handle IPv6 addresses now.

Of course, for a logfile with 100% IPv4 addresses, adding IPv6 support is nonsense. But, if that logfile comes from a device that will soon have to work with IPv6 addresses, the script should be able to handle that.
