Yes!  We migrated 150 sites from an RaQ3 to an RaQ4.  When you migrate to
the new server, the sites are added and the RaQ4 will place a new index.html
page in the directory of EACH site you have migrated.  Thus, if your clients
have a page called 'index.html', it will be replaced by the default 'welcome
to www.domain.com' page by the RaQ.

What we did to get around this is to go to the default page directory for
the index.html page that is created (before we began the migration), and we
renamed it to siteinfo.html .  Thus, when the sites are added, the default
siteinfo.html is added to their directory, and their index.html page is no
overwritten.

New site default page template is at
/etc/skel/group/en_US/web/index.html

--- how to -----
At your telnet prompt, with you signed in as ROOT:

[root]#  cd /etc/skel/group/en_US/web

[root]#  cp index.html siteinfo.html

[root]#  rm index.html

The above copies index.html to siteinfo.html.
Then, index.html is removed
---- end how to -------

 If you need further directions about the default page directory, let me
know.

Other than that, the move was mostly painless.  Time consuming, but
painless.
