Subject:   Smooth transition possible when switching ISP?

Hi

I have a web server on a box at home that uses
the cable provider @home. I am using granite canyon
as the name server provider. (The IP is dhcp but has
not changed for over a year.) I plan this month to
switch to DSL (and thus will get a new static IP).
Currently, both networks are active.

Since the web server is running on a dual-homed host,
at some point I will have to unplug from one provider
and switch to the other. I suppose that unless I can 
synchronize exactly with the name server update that
there will be some down time of the site.

It would be nice if I could limit that downtime.

Can anyone give me some suggestions as the best way
to make this transition.

Thanks
