Ip adresses comparison

[ModestUrgell]

I am a beginner.

In a servlet, I need to know if the cllient address is between two adresses.

What is the best way to do that ?

I have done

InetAddress addr = InetAddress.getByName("hostname1");
byte[] adress_max = addr.getAddress();

addr = InetAddress.getByName("hostname2");
byte[] adress_min = addr.getAddress();

final InetAddress address = InetAddress.getByName(request.getRemoteHost());
final byte[] bytes = address.getAddress( );


and then I compare the bytes.

It works but I was wondering if there is some other way
