Well, again, I don't think it will affect the ds itself, but I'd say the 
admin server is a lost cause - much of the structure of the stuff in 
netscaperoot is based around the hostname, and I think it's sprinkled 
through it in a lot of places, like you say.

Actually, replication would be messed up - you'd have to fix the 
replication agreements - it has to have a name, ip, or something to know 
where to push changes to.
