Custom query to fetch all entries of a table and that only contains first of many duplicates based on a specific column

I have a Location model and the table looks like

id name vin ip_address created_at updated_at
0 default 0 0.0.0.0/0 2021-11-08 11:54:26.822623 2021-11-08 11:54:26.822623

My method in the Location model

   def self.find_all_non_duplicate
     return self.find(:all, :conditions => "id <> 1")
   end

I want to fetch all entries of the locations table except the entry with id = 1 and that contains only the first entry of many duplicates based on the column ip_address.

Since ip_address of id = 2 and id = 5 is duplicate. I want to keep the first entry of many duplicates i.e., id = 2.

The expected result is

id name vin ip_address created_at updated_at
0 default 0 0.0.0.0/0 2021-11-08 11:54:26.822623 2021-11-08 11:54:26.822623

The entries with id's 1 and 5 to be ignored
