The DNS name has nothing to do with the UUID. If the new repository is *identical* to the old repository (all of the old repository's revisions were copied and they have exactly the same contents) then you will want the UUIDs to be the same so that you can relocate existing working copies. The old repository's UUID is automatically copied to the new repository when you import a dumpfile into a newly created repository unless you use a command line flag to tell it to generate a new UUID. On the other hand, if the new repository differs at all from the old one (for example you filtered out revisions or you imported the dumpfile into an existing non-empty repository) then the new repository UUID must be different and relocation is not possible and new working copies must be checked out.
