In the old Cobalt RaQ GUI, if you wanted to change the IP address of a
virtual site, you simply entered the new IP address in the Site Management
section, and updated the IP addresses under that domain name's DNS settings.
Save the DNS settings and done.

In the BQ GUI, when I try to change the IP address for a virtual site under
the Site Management section, and the Automatic DNS Configuration box is
checked, it gives an error saying that there is already DNS information
configured for that domain name.

If you have a mail server alias set up, the DNS configuration has both an MX
record for the alias as well as an A record pointing to the main domain
name's IP address.  If you try to update the IP address on the A record, the
GUI gives you an error message telling you there is already a duplicate
record for that name.

Am I imagining all of this?  Or is there some discrepancy in the way I am
doing it.  What is the correct procedure for changing the IP address of an
existing virtual site and how do you update the site's IP address and the
DNS records without getting all these errors?
