Re: CF Master Server whoes

[Brendan Strejcek]

You will also need to make sure all the clients continue to have an up
to date copy of the master server's public key, or trust will not
work. You can preserve the old key pair if the new server will have
the same IP address as the old server. Other than that, I don't think
there are any tricks. I have done that several times without incident.
