Adding a new IP address.. causes server downtime?

[Guest Kenny]

Hi,

 

I realise I must add a new IP address to my windows 2000 server for

hosting another SSL site on a unique domain name on the same ssl port

(443) of the same server.

 

I already have several sites running on this server. Will I cause any

downtime by adding a new IP address? Can I just go ahead and add the

new IP address or could this cause the server to disconnect from the

network?

 

Many thanks,

 

Kenny
