I doubt that they both can be online as afs servers simultaneously,

You can't run an "old" and "new" server on the same machine from a
single IP address, that's true. But you _can_ just run the "old" server,
and point the old and new CellServDB entries at it, and it looks like
two different cells and two different servers that serve the same data.
To maybe help illustrate, it's like in HTTP/1.0 (without the 'host: '
header) having two different DNS A records for the same server. If you
had the hostname newwww.example.com and oldwww.example.com both pointing
to 198.51.100.5, they would both serve the same contents, but they sort
of "look" like two different hosts.
Interesting. In order to avoid hilarity in such a scenario, would it be
necessary to ensure matching of users and group (and id numbers of both) in
both cells' PTS database?
Cheers,
Stephen
