Hello,

I am moving an e-commerce site to a new server. All has been successful and its time to change the DNS for the domain.

It's a relatively popular site and I fear that during propagation orders will be split between the old database and the new one. The databases do contain content that is dependent of the server it is on (Cache path, upload directory, etc.) so I can't just point the old site to the new database.

Are there any solutions to this without any of the sites going down.

Thanks in advance
