in_addr is a C structure without a constructor so you cannot cast an
integer to it. The structure has a single member of uint32_t type. If
that type is the same as DWORD, then you can do C tricks with pointers,
converting DWORD address into in_addr address and then dereferencing it
for comparison with the "c" object. I do not know whether those tricks
are kosher alignment-wise.
Alternatively, you can decompose the structure to initialize it, like
the following code does. There is probably a cleaner way to do it.
