If you'll send me the zone file or IP I can turn on your new name. 
I can't switch the MX record until you're sure you have all mail services set up
- because it will route all mail to the new IP as soon as TTL expires.
If you're running DNS locally, you should be able to run a test before being
smacked with all of it at once.
