When uunet.uu.net (also a very popular host) changed from 192.12.141.129 to
192.48.96.2 I did exactly as everyone suggested. A week before
the expected change, I dropped the TTL to a day. The day before the
move, I dropped it to 4 hours. After the move, I of course
raised it to 10 days.

It worked just like it was supposed to. Domain server sites didnt
notice any difference. host.txt sites thrashed for a few days until
the updated hosts.txt was available.
