Changing IP of Oracle web server.

Hope this is the right place. I'm a Windows and Unix sysadmin and as
such I periodically have the need to change IPs. My Oracle people
tell me that changing the IP of servers in our web tier (Solaris) is
nigh on impossible because it requires a complete reinstall of the
software on that box. That seems completely absurd to me, so I put it
to you . . . how laborious and/or disruptive is it to change/add an IP
on an Oracle web server?

If you have questions regarding versions and such, I'll get back to
you.

Thanks,
Chaz
