Moving IP's around

Submitted by alex on Tue, 25/09/2007 - 2:56pm

With games networks, you have a lot of server instances, over a lot of boxes, using a lot of IP space.

Sometimes, you have to move server instances from one box to another, and obviously, you want to minimise the downtime, and minimise the inconvenience to users - so you'll want to move the IP address(es) too.

Usually when you move IP's around, you need to wait a few hours for the Data Centre's BGP routers to recognize the new IP route to the new box.

Last night I went to update the firmware on my ADSL Router, a Billion BiPAC 7402VGO... and it failed! The result was a useless modem and NO INTERNET!
