Hiya,

We're planning on changing ISP soon and I was wondering how is the best way
to move domains over.

We have 11 domains, of the .com and .co.uk variety to move. 

What I was thinking - and this is probably where I'll need correcting - was
the following.

1. Before any ISP changes are made have Primary DNS for all domains be
transfered to our DNS server.
2. 1 week before new ISP installation change TTL to 1 hour.
3. Have new ISP and old installed concurrently
4. Add new ISP IP address to DNS server and other servers.
5. Change over IP addresses on DNS server
6. Inform Nominet (.uk domain registry) and Internic of change of IP address
of Primary DNS servers and change of secondary DNS server
7. Drink tea and relax.

Any thing I've missed out or that is unrealistic (7. might be a bit
unrealistic ;o)

TIA, M at t :O)
