Changing IP for server, what's the process?

Question

Hi all-
I have a Xserve running 10.5 Server. It is an XSAN metadata controller and Open Directory master. The powers that be decided to switch to a faster internet service, meaning we are losing the static IPs that the outside network is using. I'm wondering what the best way to switch over to the new network will be.
All the computers on the Fibre network have 2 NICs- currently one is on 216.87.x.x (outside), and the other is on 10.0.0.x (inside). The fibre network communicates over the inside, but the Open Directory communicates over the outside network.
The inside network will not be changing. We will be moving the outside network to a 10.1.10.x IP.
Since the clients use Open Directory via the outside network to login, what is the process to switch them over? I am assuming I switch over the server, and then the clients, correct? Then, I would log in using a local account, and add the new Open Directory server to Directory Utilities. Then, I should be able to log in to the Open Directory accounts.
Anything else I should be thinking of? Tips? Advice?
Thanks!

Very simple, export them as VCARDS then drag them into Address Book. Assuming your PC's mail program can export more than one at a time the whole process should take less than 10 minutes. We aren't PC people here so you need to look into the mail program you're using on it and look for the Export command. Almost surely it can export to VCARD. Once you have the VCARDS, open Address Book and drag them onto the Address Book and you're done.
