Were you able to identify "squid" records. Remember, Squid is a
caching tool used by Linux to improve web performance by caching common
graphics, logos, and other "static" information. Squid often appears
as "unknown".
Historically, about half the addresses will be squid, half will be bots
and crawlers..

I can't help but think of how the Railroad maintained such total
control over the central and southwest parts of the United States, for
almost 50 years. But then the automobile, the truck, and the airplane
drove the railroad to the brink of bankruptcy. Eventually, the
railroads focused on effeciently moving large amounts of bulk cargo,
and cross-country trains became a much less common form of
transportation of people and personal affects.
When Henry Ford created that first mass-produced car, I can't help but
wonder if he ever envisioned a country, and even a world, where nearly
1 billion people traveled by cars, and only a small percentage of them
would be made by Ford.
