OT: Changing the IP address of the mail server and the primary DNS serveri had to do this a couple of times, here's what i did in summary: put a second nic in the server have one nic connected to the old network with the old ips and the other nic to the new network with new ips add the new ns to your dns change the secondarys so they update from the new ip change the ns ip with the retgistrar (if registered) bind your dns to the new ip change the registry to bind imail to the new ip (make sure all refference to old ip is changed) after 24 hours disconnect from the old network deactivate nic
you can choose to keep the server connected to the old network as backup to do this add an mx with higher number with the old ip ----- Original Message ----- From: Sharyn Schmidt To: declude.junkmail@declude.com Sent: Monday, December 18, 2006 8:32 PM Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: Changing the IP address of the mail server and the primary DNS server Need to pick the brain's of the experts out there. We are changing from a cable internet connection to a fiber one. The cable connection is staying in place, so we will actually have 2 internet connections at my main site. The cable one is going to serve as sort of a "guest/public" internet connection, whereas the fiber becomes our main connection We are getting an entirely new block of static IP addresses with our new fiber connection. I am going to need to change the IP address of both my primary nameserver (which I host here) and mail server (also hosted here) to reflect the new static addresses. The mailserver and the primary nameserver are the same physical box. I am unsure what is the best way/order to do this.The new connections will be totally independent of the old one, different firewalls, different switches, etc. My internal network will be attached to the firewall behind the new fiber connection. I'll check the IMAIL KB for the best way to handle this within Imail. My biggest concern is the best way to get the Internet aware of the change, and the timing involved. Suggestions are welcome.
