I have to store/search some IP data in Postgres 9.6 and am second-guessing my storage options.

Hi Jonathan,
CIDR seems like a better match to how people think about IPs, but
another option would be to use a custom range type on inet. I wrote a
blog post about that here, including how to use a GiST index to get fast

Maybe it will be useful for you! Or maybe there is already some built-in
way to treat cidr columns like ranges?
