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.
