[Xymon] Server migration

[Josh Luthman]

How critical is it that you have every last report?  Clients only report
back every 10 minutes, so if you can migrate in 5-15 minutes you'll in the
worst case lose one report.

When I migrated to a newer OS, I just moved it all over and then changed
IPs once I was done.
