Search Again: IP Renumbering Nightmare Coming.... From: m i l e s Date: Thursday, June 12, 2003 Time: 11:52:29 am Hi, My upstream provider is renumbering their IPs. EEEEEEEEK! What Im worried about or concerned about is changing over my dns to the new IPs. Obviously there's going to be some issues with mail and web services...I know that Im going to lose some traffic while the change over happens, but from a DNS stand point, are there any gotcha's I should know about ahead of time ? Here's my thinking, that I'll have to go in and change the IPs in the entire table, I know that. That obviously has to change. I'll need to go re-register my nameserver with my registrar with its new IP address...Anywhere where Ive got code that has the OLD IP addresses has to change, email server, webserver, list server, all have to change... obviously the machines have to change their IPs. Anywhere else ? Hmmm my DNS is running on an 8600 on Mac OS 8.6! Its QDNS v3.5.3. I know that OS 9 can handle listening on multiple IPs, but Im not so certain about OS 8.6. Anyone want to answer that one ? Second question... Is it wise that I should run a secondary DNS (my upstream provider is already running secondary for me) but is this a case where Im thinking that I might have to run a secondary DNS for a lil while on the same machine, or just make new entries in the DNS table for the new IP addresses, so that its listening on both sets of IPs ?
