Can they be updated semi automagically at the same time backups/nagios change over, I.e. when they start being used...
If it makes maintenance easier, you can remove the jane.vps.
(sorry about the full quoted reply, this client doesn't do selective quoting :( )

Just to be sure we're talking about the same thing, I take this to
mean the addresses that <account>.vps.bitfolk.com points to..

As I say I have to admit I didn't consider these host names before
we started, but now that the renumbering is underway it seems to me
that changing what they point to en masse at any particular time is
going to cause some problems for some people who are making use of
them. The mapping would change before some people are ready.
Meanwhile it seems likely that if the <account>.vps.bitfolk.com
hosts continue to point at the old IP addresses until we are asked
to change them, then this will cause least disruption. The mapping
won't change but would still be pointing at an IP address that most
likely works.
So, at the moment it seems like the best thing to do is wait for
support tickets asking for this mapping to be changed.
Cheers,
Andy
