Kauto,
  They were unique per site that they were hitting and I agg'ed them
into one file. We did see many of the same IP's using multiple cookies,
faked cookies or no cookies at all which makes me think some of these
may be being proxied. I guess we had some machines not behaving with geolocation 
and hitting our EU sites as well as US domestic.

I thought I'd uniq'ed the full list, so apologies if during my fun with
trying to upload it I screwed that up.
