You could add some icing on the cake by putting all of this configuration (internal subnet address space, default gateway, etc.) into DHCP and just doing a single client IP change by making them DHCP clients. Then future upgrades of this kind become only as impactive as rebooting a client so it can pull a new lease (or manully renewing its lease.) DS
