As far as converting an IP to binary in CFML...
Wouldn't be hard to do BitMaskRead. Loop over the address as if it's a list
with a period delimiter. Read the bit mask with a length of 8, and smash
them all together. I don't see why it wouldn't work, but I haven't tried it
:)
I don't know how you could tell SQL to do this though. Perhaps there's a
conversion function on the DB?

Thanks Hank...
the conversion for the 32bit binary would seem best...
So has anyone wrote a function/Cf code to convert IPs to their binary
representations?
Had seen it done elsewhere in this manner and trust the designer...
