All my servers are NATed behind my firewall as you know, so it would just
be the global routable addresses that needed updating on our DNS servers.
I need to look at all the repercussions, but the current DC makes me
nervous (they rebooted someone else's server the other day when I asked
them to reboot for me!) Š

Ideally I suppose I could set up some temporary Aventurin{e} hosts at the
new site and just migrate each VPS as I update the DNS?

If I do decide to move, I will probably ask for your assistance to avoid
problems! ;)
