i 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 --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
