You could have used a static buffer to format the IP address: this save one 
call to malloc().

Can I replace the name "ToIPv4" by "Format" ?

Here is what I imagine:

  Net.Format("address")

And in the future:

  Net.Format("address", Net.IPV4)
  Net.Format("address", Net.IPV6)

What do you think ? Remember that I like short names :-)
