Franky,

        If you have to move such number of hosts at production I would 
recommend you to learn CloudMonkey and have to set-up development environment 
first.  There you can develop migration strategy and execute test-cases for 
re-partitioning the network.  We all learn from experience and there will 
always be better solution in the future.  As I understand the issue is not 
critical - everything works as expected, but you have some unpleasant 
side-effects.  So, be prepared - develop new network layout, test it at 
development and execute the same at production.  I see no other choice.  Doing 
changes at database level manually is probably the worst thing you may do.

Vadim.

dirty trick: spin up vms, login, disable startup scripts/remove kernel, brang 
them down and leave them there to rot. The ip will never be used in cs again.

If you like this trick: don't operate a cloud. (don't take this as 
condescending, just as my view on the thing)
