It may actually be that the entire "From IP"/"To IP" concept should be
deprecated. Since we're introducing more advanced search syntax for the
"From IP" field, we might as well add syntax for an IP range as well.
That way, you can search for e.g.:
10.0.
For those only wanting to search for a single IP, the "from/to"-fields
may appear confusing.
Of course, if we were to go all the way with this, we need a new
blueprint, or at the very least a separate wishlist report.
