Aki, thanks
I'm not certain I understand your comment properly
I currently have server 'geko'
intention was to change A record to assign geko to new IP/server, assign
new hostname to oldserver A record
I guess I;ll still get some emails delivered to oldserver with new
hostname/old ip for 24 hours or so after aA record change ?
so, I was going to re run rsync 2 or 3 times over the first 24 hours or so ?
are you saying NOT to rsync once A record changed ?
sorry for being slow
(sorry for sending not to list...)
