Server Redirects and PERL Scripts

Verio is changing my IP, how will it effect my perl scripts

[166geary]

Hey Y'All,

Verion informed me recently that they will be changing my server and giving me a new IP address.

This is all fine and dandy, but I have a Server B (non-Verio) sending POST to my verio server (Server A).

They said that a server-side redirect, which they will set-up, from the old server to the new server "should" be able to allow Server B to continue to POST to perl scrips on the verio server.

Does this sound right?

Any way to test or research this? thanks

Setting up a redirect isn't necessary... Just have the script post to the domain name instead of an IP. That way it will post to whatever IP the DNS resolves the domain to.

Your POST will have no problems either way.
