    These numbers are to one IP address only.
    
        total  outside smaller spaces
    ---------  ----------------------
    /0    158      9
    /8    149    133
    /16    16     16
    /24     0      0
    
    The /24 I'm in is sparcely populated.  
    
    It does seam to be favoring the /16 some over the /8.
    
    At this time 10:40pm CDT (-500) I'm mostly seeing repeats, with 
    only a few new ip addresses.
