Roger, I have a 2950G here with me. As soon as I did a No Shut on the NEW Int VLAN, the old Int VLAN shutdown. So your scenario should work out ok. Remember your switch will need a default gateway on the new network. This could be an issue, since the ip default-gateway command overwrites, does not add. But if you can telnet from a box on the same net you should be OK.
