DNS question

[William Kirk]

If your ISP is hosting your DNS for MX and WWW already,  seems to me all 
you need to do is point the A records for WWW to the new IP addresses, not 
switch registrars.
The only changes in DNS should be A records for the entries you need to 
point to the new IP addresses.  Provided the domain name is still the same 
that is.
If it's an entirely new domain, then you need to change the A records for 
that domain.

Been there a few times.
