To some addresses on the building 4 subnet.  Seriously, I was planning
to just do the moira dance (move the machines to the new subnet and
create deleted machines to reserve the old IPs on the old subnet) on
Saturday.  The printers get their addresses from our bootp server when
gets them from a DCM and the printservers get the addresses form DNS,
so no hand reconfiguration of anything needs to occur.  I could create
placeholder records in moira now, but that just makes the moira dance
longer and more annoying, so I wasn't going to bother to unless there
was a good reason.  Since the DNS update should occur Saturday evening
after 6pm, and not at any more precise a time than that, I holed that
someone would just be able to do a normal DNS update during that
window.
