If I were doing it this way I would use:

find /path/to/cgi-bin -type f -exec grep -H '10.0.0.1' {} \;

or

find /path/to/cgi-bin -type f -exec grep '10.0.0.1' {} \; -print

so you know which files the matches are found in.

Or you can use

cd /path/to/cgi-bin
rgrep -r '10.0.0.1' *

rgrep is in the grep package (in potato, at least).
