Have you tried good general purpose hash functions like murmur3 or
cityhash?

Another option is to use "hash" function that is bijection on integers
and exploit this fact in data structure, e.g. by using hash array mapped
trie or another prefix tree.

The easiest way to build such function is Feistel network on top of
general purpose hash function as round function. Li and Ri will be most
and less significant 16 bits of ipv4 address accordingly. At least 3
Fiestel rounds required. Play with function to achieve better
performance/distribution.

Reduced round and block size RC5 also looks very attractive, but it's
patented :(

Thanks,
Gleb.
