Subject: inet_addr inet_ntoa

Hi All,

I tried looking up answers for this with little success...any help is
appreciated, bear with my newness to Ruby.

The application I am working on can store ip addresses in a DB. They are
accessed by different platforms so the plan is to store IPs in network
order and display as host order.

I cannot find the following routines in ruby land to aid with the
process:

inet_addr - to store the IP as network ordered
inet_ntoa - to retrieve the IP as host ordered

How do people deal with these conversions? I assume dealing with Endian
issues affects several of you folks?

Any help is greatly appreciated...sorry if this has been covered before.

Thanks,
Rick
