        Been there!  ... and afterward I wished I had created an alias for
the master server / media server to begin with (e.g. nbmaster.foo.com 
etc).  That way, you could just shift the alias across to the new machine.

        Maybe this sort of tip and others like it could be collected into
a "best practice" document?  Anyone else got good "rules of thumb",
suggestions, tips they'd like to contribute?


Cheers,

Richard.
