yes, so far you are right. But this was not my question at all...

I think the database scheme should be updated. I think even the
spo_datbase.c should be able to deal with IPv6. And of course all
the other tools like the database plugin of barnyard and FLoP. On
the other hand we should see the support for IPv6 in tools like
BASE.

So my simple question is: How should this be done so that all can use
the same scheme? Even Sguil needs to be able to deal with IPv6 but
they use a complete different database layout so they will not have
a problem of interoperability with other tools...

Best regards

Dirk
