What I wonder is, in moves like this, why are they all moved at the same time? Why not move half, and then after we get _those_ up and running again move the other half?
You can't make a subnet appear in multiple places without ugly hackery and an extra network connection (tunnels, perhaps address translation, maybe origami routing).
I think Mark was envisaging a process where you move half of the servers and set them up, then flip a switch so that from now on, the public will be accessing the servers in the new location and no longer the old. Then you extend the new location with the remaining half of the hardware. You would never need to have two places function at the same time.
