Have you isolated what programs were being accessed by those addresses? Depending on what exactly your script is doing, it may not be a practical idea. Large companies often have gateways which will make it seem as if one person (one IP) is accessing hundreds of instances of a page. So imagine say 200 people at Cisco viewing your site. While you see it as one address, the fact is, there are many people viewing the site.

What is the overall purpose of your script. Considering I can spoof addresses, if your firewall is misconfigured, your provider isn't doing BCP filtering, as an attack vector, I can make your server ignore everything via 0.0.0.0 spoofing.

aa-unconfined

AA-UNCONFINED(8)						     AppArmor							  AA-UNCONFINED(8)

NAME

       aa-unconfined - output a list of processes with tcp or udp ports that do not have AppArmor profiles loaded

SYNOPSIS

       aa-unconfined

DESCRIPTION

       aa-unconfined will use netstat(8) to determine which processes have open network sockets and do not have AppArmor profiles loaded into the
       kernel.

BUGS

       aa-unconfined must be run as root to retrieve the process executable link from the /proc filesystem. This program is susceptible to race
       conditions of several flavours: an unlinked executable will be mishandled; an executable started before a AppArmor profile is loaded will
       not appear in the output, despite running without confinement; a process that dies between the netstat(8) and further checks will be
       mishandled. This program only lists processes using TCP and UDP. In short, this program is unsuitable for forensics use and is provided
       only as an aid to profiling all network-accessible processes in the lab.
