Hi Chris,

> a)  location/access to cobalt scripts for doing global DNS changes
Telnet into the box and use 'sed' to modify the /etc/named/records file.
When finished, just save changes in the DNS control panel (or run
/usr/admserv/cgi-bin/.cobalt/dns/dns.cgi < /dev/null)

If you do it right, none.

Be sure to lower the ttl value temporarily (preferably a week before the cut
over date) to a few minute.
