DNS migration

[Steve Ames]

Why not leave a "master" server at the old IP for a few weeks
_AND_ change the host record? Anyone with old information will
still be able to hit the old server. When requests to that
machine stop you can shut it off. Management can't be unhappy
with that solution can they?

I agree that the secondary will pick up the slack, but this
is a perception issue, not technical I'm thinking.
