RE: Grammar for IPv6 address

[Hans Aberg]

Also to me, it looks as though you would get best help from the
  Help-flex mailing list
  address@hidden
  http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-flex

Once you have gotten your lexer to identify the ipv4address, you can let
the parser do the more advanced parsing.

Specifically, I figure that the ipvX addresses cannot contain spaces, but
that the grammar in which they are contained can do it, used to separate
tokens. So it is the better letter to let the lexer identify the parts
which cannot contain spaces as tokens.
