Hi- These are not 2 different domains, 'apples' is just the pre-2k (NT)
domain name for joesfruitemporium.com. We had a NT domain and upgraded it to
2K. Now we want to change the old NT domain name of 'apples' to 'oranges'.
Does that make a difference or would we still need to do a paralell
migration? Thanks!
