How about this option:
SELECT distinct ip_info.* FROM ip_info RIGHT JOIN network_events USING
(ip) RIGHT JOIN host_events USING (ip) WHERE
(network_events.name='blah' OR host_events.name = 'blah') AND
ip_info.ip IS NOT NULL;
Nah, that seems to be much much worse. The other queries usually
return in 1-2 minutes, this one has been running for 30 minutes and
has still not returned
