On our Sun network, we have one of our servers set up to be the
mailhost and mailbox server, and we NFS mount /var/spool/mail
on all the other machines.  We are about to add another server
to the network, and would like to have it be the mailbox server,
while keeping the current mailhost as is.  My question: Is there
anything special we need to do to make this switch besides 
editing all the /etc/fstab's, bringing all machines down but our
NFS servers, copying the mail files over to the new machine,
and rebooting everything?  

Thanks for any and all help.  A quick reply would be appreciated.
