assuming you've got the old box and the new one running concurrently, you could run tcpdump on the old box with a filter to only catch dns requests to the old ip. Let it run for 24-48 hours and you could see who/what was still querying the old ip. -e

space
provided by our upstreams to our ARIN Assigned IP space.
I
am looking for advice and any gotchas. I couldn't find
any
white papers to this affect or archived articles or
postings.
If someone does have a resource for this or find this
could
be valuable, I can certainly gather all the info and
document
it. Most of the Registrars I have seen now use the Authoritative DNS Server Host names for the domain name registrations vs the IP Address. For most of our
customers,
we register and host the DNS. I have confirmed almost all
the customers have either Network Solutions, Tucows, Go
Daddy
and Register.com. Can I simply change the IP address of our DNS server and update the DNS Host Record with our registrar with the new
IP
and any A / NS records we have ? As long as other
customers
domains have our DNS Server FQDN as the Host, they should
not
need to make any changes, correct ? I would love to
think
its that simple, but there is always a gotcha. Does
anyone
know of any main registries using just the IP Address
where
the customer might need to go in and make those changes
for
each and every domain ? Any input, advice or ideas is
appreciated.
Thanks Eric
