Anyone with thoughts or pointers?
Howdy,
Unfortunately, I'm not really sure.
On one hand, I think about it and think it might work just fine.
On the other hand -- eth0 is setup as the default shared IP address, and Virtualmin's Network Settings (in System Settings -> Virtualmin Config -> Network Settings) looks for a particular network interface... and Virtual Servers using private IP's are associated with a particular network interface too I believe.
I haven't tried that before -- if this is a live server, what you may want to do is test it on a test system, possibly a VirtualBox system, to see if that would work without causing any interruption.

It worked!
I had to change eth0:1 to a different ip address, change eth0 to the one eth0:1 vacated, then eth0:1 to the one eth0 was
This swapped the IP addresses around.
After a reboot and a painful delay of a few minutes, after a lot of sweating, all came back up.
Webmin noticed the change of IP address, asking if I wanted to move domains on the original IP (which I did not) and all seems good!
That sounds super -- thanks for letting us know how you did it!
