We are having a weekend long power outage where I work and I need to move a
box to another location.  I am trying to minimize the amount of time it
takes for dns to update.  

Is it possible to take the old ip address and redirect all traffic destined
to it to a different address?

If a have two A records for a host and the first ip isn't available will
the second ip be tried or will the process return a host not
found/unavailabe?
