If you do..

        cat list1 list2 | sort | uniq > newlist

... then newlist will contain a merge of both lists with each ip address
listed only once.  Alternativly...

        comm -1 -3 list1 list2 > newips

... will give you newips that contains only the ips from list2 that did not
appear in list2.  This assumes that list1 and list2 have both already been
sorted - comm and uniq both only function properly on sorted lists.
