I'm currently running a mail server and a number of web instances on a single server.
I need to move all services to a new server and would appreciate your advice on the best approach to manage this move.
Let's call the domain mydomain.com
Let's call the old server old.mydomain.com with an ip addr of 1.x.x.x
Lets' call the new server new.mydomain.com with an ip addr of 2.x.x.x
The current DNS config is along the following lines
I guess the first step is to ad an A record for the new server
My question is to the best way to define the new CNAME records once I've moved the web instance given that mydomain.com still points to 1.x.x.x until everything has been moved and @ can point to 2.x.x.x?
Thanks

Code:
; A Record
@ 600 IN A 1.x.x.x
old 3600 IN A 1.x.x.x
; CNAME Record
service1 3600 IN CNAME @
service2 3600 IN CNAME @
service3 3600 IN CNAME @
imap 3600 IN CNAME @
smtp 3600 IN CNAME @Code:
; A Record
new 3600 IN A 2.x.x.xThanks
