   Pattern2 As String, Replacestring As String, _
   TestString As String)
   Dim reg As New RegExp

   reg.IgnoreCase = True

   If reg.Test(TestString) Then
     reg.Pattern = Pattern2
     SearchNReplace1 = reg.Replace(TestString, Replacestring)
   Else

If you need ipv6 addresses as hosts you have to allow []: character too:
