The core IP scheme is changing also, going from 128.x.x.x to 10.x.x.x.
I do agree there are ways to make it easier, but the guys with the
mahagoney desks don't want to go that way.

How about giving the new server the old system's IP address when you
shut the old system down?  If you have to bring up the old server,
either power off the new one or give it a different IP.

You could just run a sniffer against that IP for all DNS traffic.

Good luck,

      I know this is way off topic, but there is so much brain power and
      experience here I thought someone might know of something.  We're
      planning for an AD upgrade, 2000 to 2003, which includes replacing
a
      few of our core DCs.  One being replaced is the primary DNS server
      for AD, basically "everything" in our central site has it as the
      primary and all other sites have it as the secondary and thier
local
      DC as the primary.  To have a warm fuzzy feeling the bosses don't
      want to touch this DC/IP/Name, so we basically need to simply shut
it
      down at the time we flip and be able to bring it right back up if
      needed.  Just FYI, all external DNS that we are the master for is
      handled by a couple Linux machines in the DMZ, so they won't be
      touched.

      90% of the change to point to another server for DNS is obvious
and
      fairly easy to do with most of it being DHCP or servers.  But we
are
      worried about things like BioMed device or printers and such that
are
      out there that we don't really know about.  Certianly don't want
to
      break a BioMed device and kill somebody, that could make for a bad
      day.  :-O

      What we are thinking right now is some type of logging software to
      sit on this machine for a week or two and logged the IP of
anything
      performing a DNS lookup through it.  Does anyone have any idea of
how
      to handle something like this?

      Thanks Much,
