#9 Ability to display partial hostname of posters

[Brett Taylor]

it would be cool if we could look up the poster's
hostname and display it, but masked out ie:
203-98-48-1.cable.paradise.net.nz
would be displayed as:
*.paradise.net.nz

also, the ability to do this to ip addresses too:
203.98.48.150
would be displayed as:
203.98.48.*
or possibly:
203.98.*.150
or maybe:
203.98.*.*

I don't know what would be the best way to do this safely.

IRC (when there is any incomplete masking going on)
generally does it like this:
*.some.net.tld - only the first part dropped
127.0.0.* - only the last byte dropped
