Are you trying to actually accomplish "0" downtime, or just to minimize it?
Out of curiosity, how long are you anticipating it will take to physically move the servers from one data center to the other? If you use the move as an opportunity to upgrade servers, you could set up new web and db servers at the new location, synch databases and web content, then cut over the DNS. As someone else pointed out, be sure to follow the usual advice for minimizing DNS propogation delays. The mail server can probably afford to be down for a moderate period of time so long as you have a backup spooling incoming messages, and so long as you have an SMTP server that can relay outgoing mail from the application server.
