hey shamrock if i wanted to use your code from above and exclude blank lines as well as lines with # at the beginning how would i add that functionality?

For all those interested I ended up going with a code that looks like this:

I added the egrep to filter out any blank or commented lines. This way is so much faster than my original post. Thanks shamrock.

Code:
#check CENTRAL for duplicate ips or hostnames#
        centcheck=`egrep -v '^#|^$' $CENTRAL | $AWK -v me=$ME '{
                ip[$1]++
                h[$2]++
                } END {
                for(i in ip) if(ip[i]>1) print me ":Duplicate IP in hosts.central " i
                for(j in h) if(h[j]>1) print me ":Duplicate hostname in hosts.central " j
                }'`
        if [ "$centcheck" != "" ]
        then
                echo "$centcheck"
                error=true
        fi

NAME
split - split a file into pieces SYNOPSIS
split [OPTION]... [INPUT [PREFIX]] DESCRIPTION
Output fixed-size pieces of INPUT to PREFIXaa, PREFIXab, ...; default size is 1000 lines, and default PREFIX is 'x'. With no INPUT, or when INPUT is -, read standard input. Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too. -a, --suffix-length=N generate suffixes of length N (default 2) --additional-suffix=SUFFIX append an additional SUFFIX to file names -b, --bytes=SIZE put SIZE bytes per output file -C, --line-bytes=SIZE put at most SIZE bytes of lines per output file -d, --numeric-suffixes[=FROM] use numeric suffixes instead of alphabetic; FROM changes the start value (default 0) -e, --elide-empty-files do not generate empty output files with '-n' --filter=COMMAND write to shell COMMAND; file name is $FILE -l, --lines=NUMBER put NUMBER lines per output file -n, --number=CHUNKS generate CHUNKS output files; see explanation below -u, --unbuffered immediately copy input to output with '-n r/...' --verbose print a diagnostic just before each output file is opened --help display this help and exit --version output version information and exit SIZE is an integer and optional unit (example: 10M is 10*1024*1024). Units are K, M, G, T, P, E, Z, Y (powers of 1024) or KB, MB, ... (powers of 1000). CHUNKS may be: N split into N files based on size of input K/N output Kth of N to stdout l/N split into N files without splitting lines l/K/N output Kth of N to stdout without splitting lines r/N like 'l' but use round robin distribution r/K/N like- wise but only output Kth of N to stdout GNU coreutils online help: <http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/> Report split translation bugs to <http://translationproject.org/team/> AUTHOR
