[ZendTo] Marge ZendTo servers

[Jules Field]

Not easily, no.

The ClaimID and so on is used as the user interface, but internally it 
uses auto-incrementing counters on the DB tables. So while you have no 
clashing ClaimIDs (that's incredibly unlikely to happen), it is very 
possible you have clashing numbers in the DB tables.

I would disable all uploads and logins to the 3 old servers and force 
all new uploads/logins on to the new one.
Then the only access to the old ones will be pick-ups of existing 
drop-offs. Provided their links are distinct from the new server, they 
will continue to work.
Once the expiry date has passed for the last drop-off on any of the 3 
old servers, you can shut that one down.
Most drop-offs are picked up within a few days, so you'll see hits to 
the 3 old servers tail off very quickly.

That's generally the least painful way of doing it.

Hope that helps,
Jules.
