As far as I know, the only way to make the old server stop listening to the ip addresses is to reboot it. However, as you can imagine, these multiple reboots (and subsequent down time) aren't desireable. Is there a way to "undo" an ip alias, i.e. tell the system "Stop responding to this ip address you have as an alias"?
