Search Again: Switching IP''s for my DNS hosts From: John Readwin Date: Saturday, April 3, 1999 Time: 6:03:00 pm I'm sure this is something others have gone through, so I am hoping to get some advice. I need to switch the IP numbers associated with my hosts. ( I am getting a new service for from my ISP and need to give up my existing 3 IP's for new set of 8 ip's, I am hoping they allow me to keep them all until I complete the transferfor my DNS hosts) I know how to make the request to internic, but my questions/concerns are the following Do all the domains looking up to my DNS hosts automatically get redirected to the new address of the hosts names after I submit the host changes to internic?? ( I am sure this is true , but just want to clarify it) What is the best way to avoid downtime of my domains while internic is doing the changes?. I realize that it may take a couple of days for the changes to get replicated through the root servers Should I set up a mirror DNS Host ? one with the new IP, and one with the old ip?? will this cause conflicts/problems? Is there a way I can have my primary DNS host setup to listen for both IP's?? Any comments or suggestions would be much appreciated.
