RE: Programmatically Pull the IP Address of The iSeries

<snip>
When we are role swapped, the file needs to go to the DR iSeries.
</snip>
Excuse me, but we're looking at DR also.  Wouldn't the DR iSeries change 
in some other fashion?  Like, the DNS now serve the backup i5 and not the 
primary?  So, that if you ping myi5 instead of getting 10.10.1.5 you might 
now get 10.10.1.6?  Isn't this how it should work?  Well, I suppose both 
addresses could be configured on both boxes and the interface just not 
started would be an alternative.  In summary I am saying that there has to 
be a better way.  Otherwise, imagine changing a few thousand emulation 
sessions on about that many pc's to now point to the backup system.  Not 
really a plan that could be implemented in minutes, right?
