Input Migration tool and changing the domain IP at Source server

[tkalfaoglu]

Wish: Couldn't the migration tool optionally change the DNS settings of the domain at the SENDING server? Would be great if all the 'A' records of a domain could be changed at the source domain automatically to point to the destination server?
After all, after migration, these DNS entries are going to need to be changed, and before the migration is complete, you don't want to change the IP addresses of your DNS servers, because that's going to affect everyone; even those that have not been migrated yet.

Even better: The migration tool could allow us to specify the TEMPLATE to use at the source server once a migration a domain finishes.
Once a domain is transferred to the new server, the IP at the source server could be updated automatically. saving us lots of grief.

PS: I wrote a small program to change the DNS entries.. you may find it here:

Instruction - A script to change the IP addresses of all hosts of a domain for migration

When migrating domains to a new server, you may need to change the IP addresses related to that domain at the SOURCE server. So that when the migration is done, the old server advertises the new IP of that domain. PLESK doesn't do it by default...
