In a hurry, I grabbed a few lines of the output of MB's new script above from
my own hostname list, opened it with
LibreOffice Calc, thereby replacing the spaces with tabs, and then copied &
pasted by selection back into leafpad.
Before I ran the new script, I followed MB's advice and tested it with my
"ftr05_output_test.txt" file":
time tr -sc 0-9\\n ' ' < ftr-shortlist.txt | awk '{ k = 0; for (i = 0; k < 4

The good news is that it was in a hostname that had been truncated in the
Webalizer data in one
month's data but not in another month. There are so few hostnames that escape
these scripts that
they could be analyzed manually after running the scripts. The incentive is
that the trend is
going in the direction of maximum obfuscation, and so careful post-processing
will be the order
of the day.
Here are all the unprocessed hostnames from the second, long script, for
which I managed to get
confirmed IPv4 addresses (by nslookup) with Google or BGP:
