Good advice, good advice,
good advice costs nothing and it's worth the price.

I wouldn't do it if it were my neck on the line. Who gets blamed when
the balloon goes up? The smart money says that the guy telling you to
do it that way won't be the one left holding the bag.

That's one option. I prefer to have a ring of dlib/target/zone sets
and to switch IPL addresses when promoting a new set into production.
What's important is to:
1. Avoid CLIP
2. Always have an SMP environment matching every res set in use.
3. Automate as much as possible to avoid errors.
