HTTP redirects might be the least-overhead method and are usually pretty simple to setup... add a record "www2 A 5.6.7.8", and have the old server just redirect to www2 after the switch-over date to catch any late queries that arrive due to over-cached DNS.
The problem with http redirects are that they are visible to the end-user. Depending on your requirements, it can be a problem if the user is redirected to www2, bookmarks it, and finds at a later date that www2 no longer responds.
