seems like an ideal situation for "sed" as it can be globally applied. There are a few things to watch out for; in some cases you will look for a full IP and, in others, only a host IP, and the serial number could be applied only to changed files (using "find" for a recent change) using the current date/time period as a key. I don't see a problem using the standard YYYYMMDD## scheme. If you use some non-incremental system, remember that the serial number must be a higher (larger) number.
