Moving to a new IP Address - What is the best way to handle this ?

This weekend we are moving our server to a new IP Address (we are physically moving our office 3 miles and there is no way to take our IP Address with us.)

I know we have to update the PTR record with the ISP. I will not know what the new IP address is till later today. Is there any way to include that IP address (today) in header traffic so it builds some type of reputation before we do a cold cut over move over the weekend ?

Well, I see several ways to avoid stress. Just set up NAT from the existing connection to the other location and forward the traffic there. Do the same in reverse.

Option two: work with rinetd and simply set up port forwarding to the new IP address for incoming connections. Outgoing connections would then use your existing address.
