Some go the varchar(15) route while others the INET_ATON/INET_NTOA way. Someone mentioned to me that while the latter saves more disk space than the former, it also consumes more CPU. I've got shared hosting where you end up in the doghouse for over-consuming resources, but not really sure if the space saved outweighes the cpu factor?
