+If you relocate the server to a different IP address but the name in the Masthead remains the same then you should have no issues other than you will have endpoints whose DNS caching will have the older address. The issue could be mitigated by upper level relays as they would be the only ones contacting the server directly so you could manually clear their DNS caches. Console users would also need to shut down and restart.
