How about:
find <startdir> -exec sed "s/10.5.1.10/127.128.1.10/" {} ;
First, the '' characters are unnecessary and confusing, except the one that precedes the semi-colon.
Second, that won't work. Sed does not perform on files in place - its output is sent to stdout unless it is redirected, and you can't redirect it back to the original file. To do something this way, you'd need a script that replaced the input file and used 'sed' to generate the new one (and then the script would have to rename it).
