Hi all, One of our servers is co-located at an ISP. The ISP would like us to change its IP address. They are going to set up IP redirection to help in the transition. If someone has experience of this, I would appreciate the benefit of that experience. By the way, the server is a registered name server.
According to the ISP, the IP redirection is completely transparent. All I need to do for now is change my /etc/network/interfaces (and /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf) and reboot. I don't need to have eth0 configured for both the old and new IP addresses and services that are bound to the old IP address function normally. This sounds a bit fishy to me. My feeling is that I should change every IP-related configuration on the machine to the new address when changing the eth0 configuration. This is not a big problem except for the DNS changes which will take time to propagate. I've set the TTLs to a small value in the zones for which this server is authoritative. Can anyone confirm my thoughts above and suggest the best order in which to do the DNS changes (including the IP address change of the name server with the registrar).
