You need to reploy a changed CellServDB on your clients,
and you'll need to either restart or do "fs newcell" to tell them
the new IP address.

CellServDB.local is probably only a feature of your init script - pts
and other tools look at CellServDB.  To fix pts/vos/aklog, it's only
necessary to regenerate CellServDB.

The cache manager, on the other hand, only acquires CellServDB info
when it's started.  To tell it an address has changed without rebooting,
you'll need to use "fs newcell".  This should be fairly safe, but of
course the effect is not identical to a reboot.
