Umm..your exch svr is right on the NET? on a public address..not behind a firewall? Wow..braver then me. I'd just change the address on the weekend or maybe add a second adapter at the new address...have DNS add a second MX rec of a lower prioroity say 50.. to second adapter..then when it all works remove the old stuff.
IF though say you where behind a firewall or had another mail filter prior to the exch box... then just redo your pointers/dns rec's done! bill -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, March 06, 2002 10:44 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: IP address change This company is going to move our Exchange Server from a DSL to a t-1. The owner is worried because when a previous IP address change occurred the email system was down for three weeks.?? Did not get a straight answer as to why this occurred. My thought was to turn down the TTL on the DNS records and make the change on a Friday night. The IT manager here is worried that this will not occur. What are some other approaches that have been taken in this situation to make it as seamless as possible and minimize the outage. Can we throw up another exchange server as a mirror, I don't see how to this is possible. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
