A simple addition to the settings.py file of your project to allow you to easily specify entire network ranges as internal. This is especially useful in conjunction with other tools such as the Django Debug Toolbar.

After you set this up, the following test should pass

test_str = """
>>> '192.168.1.5' in INTERNAL_IPS
True
>>> '192.168.3.5' in INTERNAL_IPS
FALSE
"""

Jeremy Dunck: The initial code for this idea is by Jeremy and in Django ticket #3237. I just changed the module and altered the use of the list superclass slightly. I mainly wanted to put the code here for safe keeping. Thanks Jeremy!

kcarnold: That one is excellent for the most common case. I'll be using it. Thanks for the tip!
