What is the error?

Because noone has written support for them yet. java.net.InetAddress is
not a good data container for the inet type as it does not store netmask
information, so we'd need a postgresql-specific type.

It's pretty easy to write code to support new types -- take a look at
how the geometric types (org.postgresql.geometric.*) are supported. Once
written you can either register the class with the driver at runtime
(PGConnection.addDataType) or patch the driver to know about the new
class automatically.
