Huge bug with IP configuration

[isnoop]

I assumed you'd be able to define a range of IPs in the "Add IP" box, so I put in "xx.xx.xx.114-xx.xx.xx.119"
It was taking longer than it should have, so I pulled up an ifconfig and to my horror saw that it was adding dozens of IPs very fast. The next thing I knew, the system was unresponsive. The box is offline right now.

Please add some validation to this form field so this doesn't happen to others.

As a follow-up:
The server went offline when the script claimed the IP that actually belonged to the box's router. All outbound traffic was suddenly bitbucketed.

I've gotten back into it, but it cost me $75 to get a remote KVM set up.

Hello,

Thanks for the report, I'll add more checking. (Available for the next release).

Anyone who is curious, the range adding format would be:

1.2.3.4-9

which would add
1.2.3.4 through 1.2.3.9
