A nice program for generating hosts list [amongst many other features] is nast, try nast -m for a host list. You could also look at Nessus which while being a vuln scanner it will probably provide simpler information that you are after. As for having it monitor and report times at which something new enters the network I dont know, if you can get an output from a method then you can start comparing log files but you are into scripting your own at this point.
