ok so the new session will know the new ip and see it and be able to use it.
great thanks.. i just reload which is a bit faster than restarting apache.
after all vserver mods are completed, then one time over night i will restart
the entire vserver to 'settle' everything in.

only thing i can see is the newly set up ip would not have the 'name' attached
until vserver restart unless ip will take things like dev eth3:tbf2 as a
device name..

thank you!
