its called an "obscured" ip address
Authored by: gelstudios on May 28, '03 12:31:58PM

The address is supposed to work with anything ip based.

Basically its the dword (double word) format of the dotted decimal ip address.

You can do it with any scientific calculator:
207*256+44=*256+210=*256+206=3475821262

You can use it to "hide" the ip, but a simple ping will reveal the standard ip.

The obscured format will usually get past most filtering/censoring software used in school and libraries, etc.
