Between steps 1 and 6 it doesn't matter what address is received since neither your old or new server will be responding. As to step 7, there's no need to delay restoring TTL to its normal value (i.e. do it as part of step 2) unless you want to allow for a fallback option of bringing the old server back on line. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The avalanche has already started, it is too Rod Dorman late for the pebbles to vote." � Ambassador Kosh To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
