Consider a naming convention for your system that is independat of the IP
number.  Our AS/400 is named Mars, the unix box is Sun, the dial-in box is
Moon, etc.  Then we use the tables to point where ever we want.  Changes
in IP number are no longer a major issue.   Since you are going to
renumber  anyway, what an ideal time to make the shift.

An example would be  "midrange.com"  David can take the mailing list
anyplace he wants but we'll all still find it without him coming out to
our place and fixing our host tables, right?
