NFS and DNS alias

I have an old NetApp filer that exports volumes via NFS for my UNIX hosts.
We want to migrate it to the new filer and keep name of the old one as DNS alias to the new filer name with new IP address.
The question is will UNIX NFS client that still pointing to the old filer name be able to mount the volume from the physically new filer? Cashed MAC addresses discussion aside, please. I understand that.
Or to show it in the example
Code:
# nslookup filer2 
Name:    filer2
Address:  1.1.1.1
Aliases:  filer1

# nslookup 1.1.1.1
Name:    filer2
Address:  1.1.1.1

On the UNIX client:
Code:
mount filer1:/example /mnt

Will this last command work or it will end up with error message "permission denied", because of the mismatch between used alias and reverse DNS?
Some links to the theory of this process will also be welcomed.

Best regards
Leonid

NAME
NetApp::Qtree -- OO class for creating and managing qtrees SYNOPSIS
use NetApp::Filer; use NetApp::Qtree; my $filer = NetApp::Filer->new( .... ); # Create a tree, with all options in one call my $qtree = $filer->create_qtree( name => "/vol/vol1/qtreename", oplocks => 1, mode => 0755, security => 'unix', ); # Alternately, you can create it, and then change things my $qtree = $filer->create_qtree( name => "/vol/vol1/qtreename", mode => 0755, ); # The mode must be set when created $qtree->set_oplock(1); $qtree->set_security('unix'); DESCRIPTION
This class encapsulates a single NetApp qtree, and provides methods for querying information about the qtree, as well as methods for managing it. METHODS
set_security( $security ) This method method takes a single argument, which is the security value to set on the qtree. It must have one of the following values: unix ntfs mixed get_security Returns a string containing the current security setting of the qtree. set_oplocks( $boolean ) This method takes a boolean argument, and sets the oplocks attribute of the qtree to "enabled" if the value is true, and "disabled" if the value is false. get_oplocks Returns true is the oplocks are set to "enabled", false if they are set to "disabled". get_status Returns the status value for the qtree. It waill have the values such as: normal snapmirrored get_id Returns the qtree id. get_vfiler Returns the vfiler which owns the qtree. If vfilers are not licensed on the filer, this method will simply return a false value. perl v5.14.2 2008-11-26 NetApp::Qtree(3pm)
