server ip address change

["Buzzell, Bonnie Good" <Bonnie_Buzzell at brown dot edu>]

Finding myself the adminstrator for our innovative system without a
systems background, I'd especially welcome your wisdom and advice
regarding changing our III server's ip address.

We are a turnkey site, with the server housed in the University's IT
department.  As part of the preparation for moving to a new server
mid-January, the person responsible for IT security has recommended that
we move to a new subnet.  

I have reviewed the FAQ on csdirect, and have found what I can in the
manual.  It seems to me that this would require significant planning and
coordination to make sure everything keeps working.  

I would like to be able to respond to the ip-change rcommendation
knowing the pro's and con's of doing so, and with a fairly complete idea
of everything that we would have to do to accomplish this.  

I'd welcome advice from any/all, and would especially appreciate hearing
from any of you who have changed your ip address. 

Thanks,
Bonnie

Ps--Happy new year!
