I am have set everything up on this machine that I am sending this email from. (linux2.winona.msus.edu) My old machine is (linux.winona.msus.edu). They have separate IP's in the same domain. My old machine has my old lists (in Majordomo), which I have resetup as mailman lists on the new machine. I want to switch over to the new machine transparently to the users. I was going to pull the plug on the old machine, rename the new box and give it the old IP.
I found out the webpages have bad links, and something is wrong with the aliases too, I think. hope this makes things clearer.
