If you happen to have set up more than one IP address on the old machine, IE: web* used one IP and DNS used another, you can remove a few of those steps. Namely, you will need to remove the IP from the wbe* machine in the IP Secondary addresses file, add that IP to the new OS X machine. You wont need to change the registar NS data, and you wont need to wait several weeks of keeping up the old DNS server. Generally, any time I set up DNS, I give it its own IP for this very reason. -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Scott Haneda Tel: 415.898.2602 <http://www.newgeo.com> Fax: 313.557.5052 <scott@newgeo.com> Novato, CA U.S.A.
