Tricky. You can of course just copy your entire Hobbit setup over to one
of the servers you have in Angers, but unless you can assign the
IP-address of the Paris server to the one in Angers, you would have to
modify all of the clients to send data to the Angers server instead of
the Paris server.

If moving the IP-address is possible, then it shouldn't be much trouble
to just copy all of the Hobbit installation over and starting it up on
the Angers server.
