Does anybody know the IP Address of the download server for Flash Plugin's?
Because we have users sitting behind a strict content filter, I need to open the filter up for the plugin download IP address.
Thus allowing the flash player to download without the content filter being demilitarized.
Can anybody help?
IP Addresses tend to change, so this probably isn't the best option for you.

If you use a different Chromium-based browser (e.g. Opera), Adobe offers enterprise distribution licenses (free for the vast majority of use cases) for enterprise users to distribute Flash Player within their organization. This is the full offline installer, not the online/shim installer available on get.adobe.com (that has optional third party offerings). There are different options available to enterprise customers:
For more information on Flash Player distribution license see Adobe Flash Player Distribution | Adobe and the various options available to distribute Flash within your organization, see the Flash Player Admin Guide.

Just to expand on this a touch, because it's an enterprise Chrome distribution, I think you can also make use of Chrome's administrative preferences to whitelist Flash on relevant domains, even as Google forces more aggressive controls around Flash for end-users. This might help reduce your volume of Flash-related helpdesk requests.
You can also use our redistributable MSIs for PPAPI to target Chrome. They added that functionality to specifically address use-cases where enterprise GPO configurations prevented the Chrome component updater from working as expected.
