[Ext] Re: moving subnet to another server

[Jim Glassford]

Hi,

There was similar query not to long ago on the list but I will be darned 
if I can find it. I seem to remember step by step instructions on 
completing a move to a new server, maybe I was dreaming.  :-(
This was as close as I found which may be helpful, move the leases file 
to the new server and verify if version differences.
