Need help with changing IPs in 5.1A cluster.

We are re-ip'ing our cluster nodes, but retaining the same mnemonics. OS
is T64 v5.1a.

The docs describe:

*Changing the cluster IP address
       * involves simply changing /etc/hosts and rebooting nodes one at
a time
*Changing the member name, IP address, or Cluster interconnect address
        * involves removing node from cluster, adding back in with new
            name/IP/interconnect address for each node, one at a time.

I'm very confused as to which would apply to what in our case. Here's
our scenario:

Node 1: firstnode-maint.domain.com - 1.2.3.4 - change to 5.6.7.8
        (CNAME: firstnode.domain.com - this is the "Hostname" shown in
          clu_get_info)
          firstnode-app.domain.com - 2.3.4.5 - change to 6.7.8.9
          firstnode-pvt.domain.com - 3.4.5.6 - change to 7.8.9.10
Node 2: secondnode-maint.domain.com - 2.2.3.4 - change to 6.6.7.8
          (CNAME: secondnode.domain.com - this is the "Hostname" shown
in
         clu_get_info)
        secondnode-app.domain.com - 3.3.4.5 - change to 7.7.8.9
          secondnode-pvt.domain.com - 4.4.5.6 - change to 8.8.9.10

As noted, the mnemonics and the CNAMEs are not changing, just the IPs.
        * Can I change the ips in /etc/hosts and reboots, or do I need
to do
          the remove from cluster/re-add to cluster scenario?

Huge TIA,
