we did somthing like this a year ago and I fixed it via the find
command, xargs and a perl oneliner. Cant remember exactly what now.
This was possible because we changed out ip's from xxx.xxx.xxx.ppp to
yyy.yyy.yyy.ppp

a fast one from the memories is somthing like:
find . -exec perl -pi -e "s/xxx\.xxx\.xxx/yyy.yyy.yyy/g" {} \; -print


This will search and replace xxx.xxx.xxx with yyy.yyy.yyy in all files
from the dir you are standing in and recursivly down - dont do this
where you have logs. You should probably also have a check that it is
only non-binary files you edit.
