RE: server ip address change

["Todd Humble" <THUMBLE at nrhtx dot com>]

Be sure to research through all your innovative server files to remove the old i.p.  Using the FIND command in an editor and loading all your files one by one and searching them will insure you haven't missed anything after the change...

Be prepared for your stats to drop... many people will have you booked under i.p. and will think your site has died especially if you don't have a re-direct for a period of time...

We have been through it and it caused many calls to be placed to the library since the patrons could not connect.

Subject: server ip address change

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!
