change IdP IP address and unknown artifact

[Dave Perry]

If it's DNS, doesn't that take up to 24hours to propagate (worldwide) fully anyway?
So maybe leave them both on and just sit it out (with a notice to users, if you feel like, saying things might be a bit rocky for a day)?

If the messages were on the old IP, the cause is DNS caching bugs. If they're on the new IP, then the only explanation is that clients are getting artifacts from the old one.
