The same way the kernel deals with them; int(10) unsigned. To convert a
dotted quad string into int(10) use the following:
Using 192.168.10.50:
192 + (168 * 2^8) + (10 * 2^16) + (50 * 2^24) = 839559360
This is real handy if you're doing low level socket stuff and storing
addresses in the database.

This is how I've stored IP information in the past. It also makes it
much easier to sort by IP, etc. However I believe you mean
(192 * 2^24) + (168 * 2^16) + (10 * 2^8) + 50 = 3232238130
