[OpenAFS] How to cleanly remove a 2nd eth address from a file server

Not what I meant... Getting rid of the ip addr on the server is easy
(ifconfig eth0:0 down) - the problem is that all that clients are still
trying to use that IP, and are waiting for timeouts to lose contact with the
server.

Is there some straightforward way to get the clients to switch to the other
address?
