System.out.println("hw: "+result.get("hw"));
System.out.println("name: "+result.get("name"));
System.out.println("domain: "+result.get("domain"));
System.out.println("ip_low: "+result.get("ip_low"));
System.out.println("ip_high: "+result.get("ip_high"));

"DNS name parser" is an utility library created to be used in a search application. Given a single input field its function is to differentiate between several types of possible input strings. Namely if it a dns name, IP address (exact, ip range or ip with wildcards) or hardware address. The result of the parsing is a Hashtable with possible keys "string", "hw", "name", "domain", "ip_low" and "ip_high".
