FreeBSD Server Move

Follow this procedure when moving a FreeBSD box from one IP to another.

• Change DNS to new IP address. You'll want the TTL on the domain to be pretty short, so that the IP address updates quickly.
• Change ifconfig settings in /etc/rc.conf
• Change /etc/resolv.conf
• Change /etc/hosts
• Reboot the box (best, to test the new ifconfig line), or do a manual ifconfig to the new IP.
• TEST everything
