Thanks for the answer Michael. That was exactly what I meant and your answer
was exactly what I needed. I thought I needed to bind the address structure
to the ipaddr column but that did not work so I changed the type to text and
converted the address to a char string. Now you tell me it's just text, I
went back and changed the database datatype to inet address and it's all
good.
