Given the way that's written, I think we should just compare the result
to (in_addr_t)(-1), and not assume there's any macro provided for that.

However, now that I know the real issue is you're using inet_addr, I
would like to know why you're not using inet_aton instead; or even
better, something that also copes with IPv6.
