Since the websites point to the same IP, and I assume they all reside on the same server, it's possible to use a virutal hosting web service config. This relies on the http "Host" header (required with any http command, especially if it's http1.1) to differentiate the different websites. A reverse proxy would do exactly the same thing. May as well cut the chain shorter and just forward the connection directly to the web server itself. If you do need to temporarily reverse proxy any website, as part of migration, then Apache can do this individually on a per virtual host basis. > > By the sounds of it, top priority is migrating all services on e2 to a vm > > on > > the e5 system.

Rsync is your friend here. Create a shell script with the appropriate rsync commands, run it once to do the bulk transfer, then run it again just before doing the switch. I've done this many times when moving a Linux server from physical to virtual, copying the whole system, not just service files. Most of these switchovers are done in under a minute.
