[cobalt-users] PLEASE advise: Need a clean transfer from RaQ to RaQ



Hello all,

Currently we have a RaQ2 as a web/mail server with a separate DNS server and
about 8 accounts being hosted on it.

We have decided to move to a RaQ3 and use it as the Web/Mail/DNS servers.
We have the RaQ3 registered as a name server w/ internic.

Is there a way we can smoothly migrate everything over to the new RaQ
"behind the scenes?"  Meaning, having everything change over with minimum
involvement with our current account holders - so that they only need to
accept the DNS server changes associated with their domain names?

I think our biggest dilemma is the email situation...

Should we change the IP of our MX records of our current mail server to that
of the RaQ3?
Then make DNS changes to the domains at internic, which will then point all
the domains to the RaQ3 (which will have the final correct DNS
configurations)?

Would this work?  How many 'holes' does this plan have?

Thanks for ANY advice!

Leo.
