Having done exactly this, there has been *very* little traffic to 
the old IP since about an hour after we changed the IP of the website.
(I got an old machine up on the old network as a basic webserver 
saying "we've moved").  Mostly from a search engine that clearly 
caches the IP not the domain name.  (Duh!)

I think we had TTL down to an hour.

Ah.  Because they are run by The Clueless.  Certain Large ISPs are guilty
of this, according to Rumour.
