RFC: Filterable addresses

[Joerg Mayer <jmayer () loplof de>]

Hello List,

some while ago I sent a proposal to this list to enable filtering on
IP-addresses in arp requests. Guy asked whether generalizing that would
make more sense. IMO, it does. So, as a prove of concept I tried to
make everything of type FT_IPv4 filterable - and failed. My problem
is, that I don't know how/where to add the hf_ip_addr element in proto.c.
Putting it behind hf_text_only isn't the right place, I just fail to
find the right place/way to add it.
Hints (and general comments on the rest of the implementation) are
welcome!

Thanks
    Joerg

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
