Hi,
It isnot a problem, if you have a good dns server... ;)
You can also change the server name, it's more complicated but =
possible.
If you keep the same name, it's a good way to test a crash recovery on =
your
master server.

If I rebuild my master server so that it is on a larger more powerful =
server
is it necessary to keep both the current server name and IP address. =
My
plan was to keep the master server name identical but to change the IP
address.
Will a change in IP address on the master server cause a problem??
