You could have a variation on the domain pointing to your other location, e.g. 
www.yoursite.com goes to the current site
www2.yoursite.com goes to the new site

The 'www2' bit can be anything you like, or even left blank.  You want to get 
the DNS TTL set to a low a value, so that if you then want to change the IP for 
www to be the new site, when you update your DNS, that change propagates 
relatively quickly to other DNS servers.

Hello everyone,

    I have a Web site we're making over during the next few months. One of
the individuals receiving this email developed her own content management
system that runs under ColdFusion. Unless I'm informed otherwise our current
host doesn't support any flavor of ColdFusion.     The organization all
ready has a registered domain. Our question is is it possible to point the
domain to multiple hosts so we'll have all of the functionality available on
the new host when a domain is pointed to it, but keep the current Web site
as the default site visitors see when they visit the organization online
while the new site is being built? When the new site is ready to go live we
would redirect visitors to it. My original question breaks down in to
several:

1. Can we point the current site domain to multiple hosts?
2. How do we keep the current Web site as the default site people see when
they visit us online?
3. Once the new site is ready to go public how do we redirect visitors to
it?
4. Isn't this what is commonly referred to in the Internet World as a
colocation?

    Thanks for educating all of us on what to do,a nd ow best to do it.

Peter Donahue
