Thanks. Testing a minimal sample from that page:
1140 $ date; nslookup eccgw01.boulder.ibm.com
Fri Mar 3 11:33:10 MST 2023
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: eccgw01.boulder.ibm.com
Address: 207.25.252.197
1141 $ date; nslookup eccgw.eastdata.ibm.com

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: eccgw.eastdata.ibm.com

... so apparently both hostnames are now known to DNS. Administrators can
simply enter both
(sets of) IP addresses in firewall. Programmers can use the old hostnames
(which will remain
valid), switch at the appropriate time, and firewall administrators can then
remove the old ones.
Service can be seamless; timing is not critical.
