12:52 <beneroth> Regenaxer, (rel ip (+Key +List +Number)) should be ok, right?

12:53 <Regenaxer> yep, if the list is uniqe

12:53 <Regenaxer> I never had this case though

12:57 <beneroth> for IP addresses

12:57 <beneroth> e.g. (127 0 0 1)

12:57 <beneroth> (IPv4 to be exact)

12:59 <beneroth> I have many botnet attacks on my infrastructure once again. bots doing brute force on customer website administrator logins. so now I like to detect and auto-block some of them, and naturally write the blocked ones into a pilDb

13:01 <Regenaxer> Makes sense

13:02 <Regenaxer> Perhaps the IP address as a string is smaller and faster

13:03 <aw-> yeah store the IP as a string, no need to complicate that

13:04 <beneroth> so did before.. but what about the index?

13:05 <beneroth> hm.. you are right

13:05 <aw-> also hi ;)

13:05 <beneroth> numbers only make sense when I also want to analyse the IP blocks. but I don't need that yet, just some ideas for the future.

13:05 <beneroth> hi aw- :)

13:06 <beneroth> how are you?

13:06 <aw-> you can always convert it in the future if/when you need to analyse it

13:06 <aw-> i'm fine thanks

13:07 <beneroth> T

13:07 <Regenaxer> Hi aw-

13:07 <beneroth> while parsing, I check if it is valid numbers, so I can abort if my parsing screws up for some reason (unlikely but just in case)

13:07 <beneroth> but yeah, storing as string
