    Hi,

     

    If you went via name, then DNS would take care of this within BE. You'd need to change this within BE itself unfortunately and most likely change the jobs.

    If you add a server by its IP address and the IP address is changed, then you would have to add the server using the new IP address and re-create your jobs using the new IP address.
