Re: Switching ISPs

Thank you very much for your reply.

I should have clarified a bit further I suppose.

What I am now thinking of doing is updating our DNS records, but there
will be a lagtime for the new addresses on the servers to be updated
with the new addresses, so in the interim, some traffic will continue
to a servers a.a.a.x (old ISP address),.

Thank you for the information on the servers always replying from the
address the packet was recieved on. I thought this should be the case,
but when there is a microsoft server involved, I am a bit uneasy
(some servers are Win2k, others are *NIX boxes)

I think you are right on the convincing the new ISP to temporarily
allow the outgoing traffic, this would be something I could quick test
as well, and switch back until resolved. Then move on to the DNS
updating.

Thanks again,
