hello, not sure they are getting email at this point (or even if i can send this to the list) but yes, theoretically you are correct. however even that type of access (for example: http://prospector.coalliance.org) will be unavailable for some unspecified amount of time. laura csm _____ From: Goldrush Discussion List [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Blackburn, Joseph Sent: Monday, December 17, 2007 9:15 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Reminder! December 17th Alliance IP address change Importance: High I thought Tim's FAQ said that connection via domain names would not be affected. Is this true?

December 17th Alliance IP address change Importance: High Please excuse the multiple postings. Remember, Monday (December 17th, 2007) is the big day. The Colorado Alliance will be changing its IP address beginning at or around 8:00am. We expect all services to be unavailable that entire day. According to our ISP and network consultants, it may take as long as three days for the changes to our DNS to fully propagate throughout the Internet. During that time frame, you may be unable to reach Alliance services via hostname. However, you should be able to access them directly using the IP addresses of the service (see below). For example, to reach the Alliance website (http://www.coalliance.org) you would simply put the IP address (129.19.152.10) of the web server into your browser. Service/Website IP Address Alliance main website 129.19.152.10 Gold Rush (A - Z) 129.19.152.30 Gold Rush Staff page 129.19.152.19 Gold Rush linker Recommend not using IP address to access Prospector 129.19.152.47 Charleston Advisor 129.19.152.15 ADR 129.19.152.102 Catalyst 129.19.152.20 OCLC access list 129.19.152.41 Note that some services, such as Gold Rush Linker will not be available until the DNS updates.
