* Way to reverse ordering of an IP ... ?

for Reverse DNS purposes, I'd like to reverse an IP ...

ie: 200.46.204.1 would become 1.204.46.200

Is there an easy way of doing this *short* of writing a plpgsql function?

I've checked the docs, and found the substring() function that allows for 
using a regex, which I thought might allow this, but can't seem to figure 
out a proper format for it ;(

If I have to write a function to do it, fine ... just wanted to make sure 
I wasn't missing something first ...

Hi,

You can use (\d+)\.(\d+)\.(\d+)\.(\d+) for the match, and \4.\3.\2.\1 for the replacement in your Regexp.

Cheers,
