so i hacked IPAddr#initialize to print the addr and the addr's class I was passing to IPAddr.new and got:

1.2.3.4
String
true
TrueClass

wtf?

multicast.rb

class Multicast
   include SimplyStored::Couch
   property :addr
   property :port
   validates_true_for :addr, :logic => lambda { IPAddr.new addr }
end
