I've just switched may domain name to a new name server / web host and wonder how this would effect how Google sees my site. When I try to view the cached snapshot of my page on the toolbar to look for my site with my old IP address, it does not find it (probably never did). When I view it using the domain name which has just been switch to the new IP address, I see the snapshot. So far I'm concluding at this point (before Googlebot comes back to re index the new site), that Googlebot doesn't care about the IP address. What do you all think?
