Re: Reminder!  December 17th Alliance IP address change
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.

I thought Tim’s FAQ said that connection via domain names would not be affected.  Is this true?

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.
 
If you have any questions, please contact either myself ([log in to unmask]) or George Machovec ([log in to unmask])
