now underway, changing from 72.24.172.12 to now pointed to 103.193.138.76

NET 4 nodes need to point to port 24560 on this new IP address, so

net4.fsxnet.nz:24560

 Av> Shortly I will be de-linking NET 1 from the 'old' NET 4 HUB and updating

This has been done, in the process I may have accidentally deleted FSX_GEN and FSX_DAT from the now retired HUB. Turns out my delink commands were being taken as a 'delete' command - eek!  But the rest of the echos have been paused on the old HUB so no further traffic is flowing into the NET 1 HUB from that old system now.

The new NET 4 HUB has been started up and nodes that were linked to their chosen echos in NET 4 are being fed by this system now.

still to do.
