I recently had to move my Web server/DNS server. I've gone through the procedure before, but after changing the IP of my domains in the name server, I always have to wait for the Internet to catch up and resolve the domains. Here's the procudure I use: 1. Put a temporary DNS server at the new location and point the IP's to the old location's IP. 2. Register the new name server at the place where I registered the domains. 3. Change the DNS servers of my domains at the place that I register from the old name server to the new name server. 4. Turn off the old name server after the new one name server starts resolving. I check this with a `whois`. 5. Everything works fine up to this point. 6. Once I have moved the DNS/Web server, I change the IP's in the DNS server and Web server to point to the new IP. This method works, but I always have to wait at least a day before things catch up and start resolving. Is there a way to go about this IP changing without having the downtime while waiting for all the DNS servers on the Internet to get the new IP? Thanks, list. Any input is appreciated.
