Re: moving name server to new IP

If you can I would add your new DNS info to Network Solutions (and turn
on new DNS server). Wait a few days - while checking DNS logs to make
sure that your secondary is getting its updates from new server. Then
remove DNS info for old server from Network Solutions. Wait a few more
days while check logs on old/new servers.

On the setup of the zones you can shorten your times to 10 minutes or
so.
