I have this technical issue below...
We have this domino server in our DMZ that hosts multiple websites. This server has a public ip x.x.x.x.
Now we are asked to move this server away from our network for security reasons. We decided to move it to our ISPs premises.
These are the facts. Now what are our options? Do we need to go separately to all registrars (of the domains hosted) and change x.x.x.x to the new ip y.y.y.y ? Or is there a way to redirect traffic from x.x.x.x to y.y.y.y directly?
Thank you in advance

Before you move the server, get the IP address that the ISP will assign to you to use. Just as you shut the server down to move it, update your DNS entries (likely with your registrar) to the new IP address and install the server at the new location.
There will always a lag-time as DNS servers propagate your DNS settings to the other DNS servers accross the Internet (anywhere from immediately to 48 hours), however, your downtime should be as short as possible.
BTW- I used to be a webhost and registered ISP. This should work a peach.
