Hi Dan,

	Have you actually done this? The reason I'm asking is I do
this all the time on our other servers. But I just setup my first
Virtual Host on a RaQ thinking I could do the same then, while
surfing the knowledge base on Cobalt's site to see if I can get
away with editing the crontab without voiding the warrenty, I
stumpled upon an item that got me worried. On the Knowledge base
Question 281 implies that the available options are to create a
second site under the new IP and transfer everything over or
manually edit about a dozen configuration files. None of this is
much of a problem other than it appears to be a whole lot more work
than I expected.

	TIA,

	Brent
