Search Again: moving ISPs, for the nth time... From: Claude Errera Date: Wednesday, January 2, 2002 Time: 2:06:21 pm Okay, I know this has been covered before, I just spent a couple of hours browsing the archives. ;) However... I didn't run across any posts that COMPLETELY answered my questions, so I thought I'd try posting. I'm currently in the process of switching ISPs. At the moment (and for the next two weeks or so), I have both subnets active. I've taken the opportunity to move over almost all addresses so far... but the two DNS servers are giving me headaches. I'm trying to figure out the best way to minimize downtime without inconveniencing clients too much. Part of the problem is that I don't have access to many of the registration records; I have to ask the clients to make changes with their registrars. So I want to minimize the effort involved there, too. :) There are currently 2 dns servers; a primary and a secondary. Is there any way to keep, say, the secondary up and running on the old address for a few days, while the primary shifts over to the new subnet? Is it that simple? (Move one, not the other?) Do I submit IP address changes for both servers simultaneously (or ask clients to do it), or do I need to do one, then the other a few days later? Ideally, except for having to visit their registrar, I want this to be as seamless as possible for the clients. Any help here would be much appreciated. :) -- Claude errera@bungie.org
