I thought I'd post back with my solution. I seem to magically figure it
out 2 minutes after posting, but never before hand haha.
I just used the 'group' key instead and that seemed to do the trick
returning only distinct IP rows while bringing back data for all fields
that I needed:
$DistinctIp = $this->Log->find('all', array(
'conditions'=>array(
'last_usage_human >'=>date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('-15 minutes'))
),
'fields'=>array('Log.ip', 'Log.user_agent', 'Log.ip_name',
'Log.last_usage_human'),
'limit'=>333,
'group'=>'Log.ip'
));
