It would be my guess that you're trying to store inet_aton()'s value
into a signed integer column, which is in the range of roughly -2G - 2G-1,
while inet_aton()'s result is unsigned, in the range 0 - 4G-1. Whenever
inet_aton() happens to return a value > 2G-1, MySQL truncates it and stores
into your table the largest value possible for the column type you specified.
ALTER TABLE sequoia MODIFY ip INTEGER UNSIGNED <whatever else you want>;
G'luck,
