So it should work with IPv6 subnets too (I assume that the same concept is applicable with IPv6 where the beginning of the address identifies the larger network, eventually getting down to a specific host at the right end of the address).

String-based matching does seem a little bit unwholesome to me. I agree
with the previous comments that a CIDR scheme would be better, so in
your example above you would write "192.168.0.0/16". This seems like it
would map much better to real-world use cases for both v4 and v6.
