Hi -

I'm trying to change our UI scripts to cope with the downtime, but I need 
a little advice on how to do this.

In our lcg installation folder I can see glite/etc/<bunch_of_vos>/glite_wms.conf. 
The glite_wms.conf files have an attribute "WMProxyEndpoints" which I 
think lists the WMS' we use.  Is it enough to simply change these to new, 
known WMS?

Is this enough, or do we have to worry about other services (MyProxyServer, LFC?)

Cheers,

Chris
