# @Neil please review, in rails 4 when setting an ip address attribute a conversion takes place
# this may explode meaning you will never even reach the validator
# We can work around the issue like so, but I wonder if the spec is valid
# In Rails 4.0.0, validators are run to handle invalid assignments to inet columns (as they should).
# In Rails 4.0.1, an exception is raised before validation happens, so we need this hack for
# inet/cidr columns:
def ip_address=(val)
write_attribute(:ip_address, val)
rescue IPAddr::InvalidAddressError
