We're in the middle of that right now, and all I can really think of to say is..."Sorry." :-( It's rough. We started by giving our servers multiple IP addresses, one old and one new. We then moved our customers over slowly - first all of the static IP addresses, and then each phone number depending on how it was tied to a router. We hired an outside consultant to do some of our network customers, which was a mistake. You just have to be patient...:) SeanMike -- SeanMike Whipkey - highway@cstone.net - http://www.cstone.net Engineering Department, Cornerstone Networks, Inc. - 804.817.7000 "This is a world where a geomantically-trained ninja interior decorator can wreak havoc." - Feng Shui [paraphrased] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
