I'll give that a shot!
I tried using division, but not using % (I can't remember what it's called ATM...). It appears that I get a good mix out of it!
Thanks crashnburn - I'll post my script if it turns out how I want it (i.e. - I don't abandon it first
...)

atmhosts
atmhosts(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual atmhosts(4) NAME
atmhosts - ATM host name file DESCRIPTION
The atmhosts file is an ASCII file that contains an single-line entry for each host on the ATM network. Each entry consists of an ATM host address, official host name, and any aliases. Parameters are separated by spaces or tab characters. A number sign (#) indicates the beginning of a comment; characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by routines that search the file. ATM host addresses are specified by an even number of hexadecimal digits. Each pair of digits represents 8 bits of address information. An ATM address can be one of the following: An ATM End System Address (AESA) as registered with the network (19 bytes, or 38 hexadecimal digits) A local Endpoint System Identifier (ESI) that is registered with the local switch (6 bytes, or 12 hexadecimal digits) An AESA with selector byte, representing the address of a service on a remote machine (20 bytes, or 40 hexadecimal digits). Note By default, the atmhosts file contains an entry for Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVCs). The entry consists of an ATM address of 40 hexadeci- mal zeros (0) and the host name PVC. Do not change or delete this entry. FILES
