I have a couple of name servers that we need to move from
another company's network to ours.

I was thinking of assigning my current name servers another ip address and changing the name server's ip with netsol to point to this new address,aliased on eth0:0.

I can't simply change the name servers on the domains as we have thousands of zones on these name servers and getting all the domain owners to do this will be a pain.


I'm using bind 9 and I know by default it will listen on all available ips,
I have added a secondary ip to the network card as a test and it works but..

Is this a good way of doing it, will I run into any problems by adding another address to the nic and having bind answer for 2 name servers?

When I modify the ip address, of the name server that I moving, with netsol will that ip change across all registrars ?

Is there a better way for me to merge these names severs?

TIA. p
 
I've done that, there is no problem.

They register the host, so you change the host record and everything should follow. That is my experience.
