Hi All,

can anyone speak on the necessary changes that will be required to an external (godaddy) name host?

I have a bind setup on debian, and assume that I will need to change the /etc/bind/zones/master/ file(s) as a result of this invconvenience, and also need to visit godaddy and change some files around.

I don't want to do anything hasty and cause everything to Greek on me... so any help from this list would be appreciated. 

My nameservice is a vital part of my infrastructure and I hesitate to mess with it. 
Are changes of this nature a regular occurrence here in bitfolkville?

Cheers,
Max

Dear customer,

    [ Apologies if you've received duplicate copies of this email;
      we felt it was of sufficient importance to send direct to the
      contacts for each account. ]

If you've been following our mailing lists you'll know that the time
has come where we need you to change the IP address(es) associated
with your VPS.

Basically:

- For each IP address on your VPS you need to enable a new address,
  which has already been routed to you.

- You then need to reconfigure your services to use only the new IP
  addresses.

- Finally you need to disable the old IP addresses.

Full information on what you need to do can be found here:

    https://tools.bitfolk.com/wiki/Renumbering_for_customers

The next time you need to reboot your VPS you should take care to
instead shut it down and boot it again from your Xen Shell,
otherwise you will lose the routes to the new IP addresses that have
been added.

The old IP addresses will be disabled approximately *three months*
from now, so if you don't make these changes before then YOU WILL
EXPERIENCE A LOSS OF SERVICE.

Therefore if you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask,
preferably on our users list:

Cheers,
Andy
