seamless network transfer

This is a stretch, but I was wondering if anyone knew
of a way to move an IP from one NIC to another,
without network interuption? I have my primary IP on
a FDDI card. I have a Gbit ethernet instaled on the
system. I want to move the IP tied to the FDDI to the
other network card. Using sysman -netwizard (or
hacking rc.config, etc.) I assume I'd have to
de-configure the FDDI card, and then use the same tool
to configure the Gbit port, which would cause network
interuption. I started toying with the idea of using
Netrain to do a cutover to a new card, or something
like that.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
