Indeed.

Having correct DNS makes moving _much_ easier.  I can't
underscore this enough...

I've never tried running two copies of BIND, but one _should_ be
able to.  But why run two different instances?  There is no need.

AOL seems to, but my impression is that some others DO NOT.
However, even one big ISP is enough to cause problems.

Editting httpd.conf manually.  It's more painful on RAQs that
autogenerate httpd.conf from the PostgreSQL database.  (It was a
very foolish idea on Cobalt's part, but that's what we must live
with on a few of the RAQs.)

Again, manually, just like on a standard *ix box.  I've never
bothered with GUI-based hacks, although I'm sure someone _could_
create that if they really felt like spending the time...
