Actually not -- that wasn't my worry.

My worry is that if everything isn't configured correctly,
likely DNS, anything that would prevent authentication
or replication might just prevent them from even finding
each other to switch the roles.

By moving the roles first, you guarantee it gets done.

Darn if I know -- same site it will start right now.

Different sites SHOULD follow the replication schedule.

It will take as long as it takes: giant forest might take a
long time depending on where the copy originates (WANS
and stuff.)

GCs are really a forest (wide) job.
