Search Again: Re: Changing ISP, updating DNS From: clyde Date: Friday, March 10, 2000 Time: 4:01:00 am hi all, I'm about to switch isps. The old isp's line is up and the new isp's line is also up. I search menandmice.com site for a howto on changing but didn't find one... From reading this thread of messages I've come up with this perliminary plan to switch services from the old addresses to to the new addresses. 1. Change the ttl's for each domain down to 1 hour (3600) on the primary name server. (which I did about an 6:30pm pst...) 2. I'll move the secondary dns server to the new network sometime in the next day or too... 3. Update all the primary records to reflect the new secondary server... 4. Move the least used server (or service) to the new network connection and update the primary dns pointing to it's new home. 5. Repeat 4 for each server. 6. When the last server on the old network is the primary DNS then I'll setup a temporary dns server to act as a primary on the new network. Update Internic records. And wait... 7. Once primary dns changes are reflected by Interic. Then shut down the old network. move the old primary dns to the new network to replace the temporary... So. is this a reasonable course of action to pursue? Any pitfalls or variations that make the switch over easier/better... Thanks for any advice.
