Matt, I have similar transition issues, except that
mine are more
locally confined, but still involve the reassignment of over 200 IP
addresses and liaising with multiple ham network coordinators (D-STAR
and IRLP, along with the Echolink relays at a minimum require manual
administrator intervention). This is a massive job, and I also turned
to 44.x address space to avoid the commercial renumbering merry go round
(I had renumbered at least 3 times previously). Also, having access to
a /24 instead of a /28 allows me to provide more services to hams.
My /24 was moved from 44.135.x.x to 44.31.x.x a year or so ago, and I was
given an overlap period to gradually make the transition. I'd have rather
not had to make the change, but given the temporary overlap, it really
wasn't too horrible.
I had the simultaneous issue of needing to change BGP advertisers, but I
was able to solve that problem as well, and that's a problem that most
people in this situation shouldn't face.
