## WARNING:  This works to export even the whole Internet's worth of IP space...
##  if you have the disk/RAM to handle the dataset, and you call this sub based on /16-sized chunks
##  A /16 took ~3 seconds with a handful of separate records;  adding a /8 pushed export time out to ~13m:40s 
##  0/0 is estimated to take ~54 hours and ~256G of disk
##  RAM usage depends on how many non-template entries you have in the set.
