Depends on your bureaucracy for getting a "new server" into production... And how difficult the clients can be :) WAS is behaved now in versions > 5. Oracle, haven't tried that one --- but I would hope it doesn't do that! DB2 is ok with it.

We do a lot of that :) Makes it harder to test thoroughly, though. You also get the unmatched thrill of finding all the places that the Oracle install utility wrote IP addresses into scripts, and in WAS configs, and in Many Other Stupid and Undocumented Places. More fun than I'm allowed to have these days. Easier to fix the clients. They'll call you and tell you where it's broken. Then you get to yell at them for hardcoding addresses. Much more attractive fun. 8-) -- db ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
