Replacing Multiple Servers with One

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



We are replacing four servers, running mail, web, ftp, and dns, 
respectively, with a single server to run all four services.

The new server will have a new IP address.

It seems fairly straightforward to redirect mail, web, and ftp services 
to the new server via DNS CNAMES, but I'm not quite sure about how to do 
the change for the DNS service itself.

Is there a need to maintain the old DNS server's IP address during a 
transition, or longer? Via a virtual IP with the old DNS server's IP 
address on the new machine, perhaps? Or a second NIC with the old 
address? Or just have the router redirect incoming DNS requests?

Thanks.
