First of all, don't send two copies of the same message six minutes apart.

The IP address for the network interface is set in /etc/rc.conf. However,
there are probably a lot of configuration files which refer to the old IP,
so a "grep OLDIP /etc/*" and "grep OLDIP /usr/local/etc/*" would probably
find a large portion of those files that need changing.
