Just a short note - "uniq" works on sorted output. Unless that "find" command returns sorted output, uniq will not work.
@OP - the data structure that stores unique values is called an "associative array" or "hash". The keys of a hash cannot repeat, hence the server names could be the keys. The value could be a constant or a number that is incremented per occurrence.
Check "man ksh" or "typeset" command for associative arrays in Korn shell.
Most of the scripting languages provide such a data structure - it is called "associative array" in awk, "hash" in Perl and Ruby and "dictionary" (not completely sure) in Python.
In any case, as suggested by ryandegreat25, de-duping your server names before storing them in an array would be the way to go.
