I hear it can take up to 3 weeks for a DNS change to take place (when changing web servers and redirecting your domain to the new server).

What if I did a htaccess to redirect visitors of my site on my old server to my new server via the static IP that my new server gives me until the DNS change happens? Would this work?????

On that same note... how the heck do I do an htaccess redir? I keep hearing about them but have no idea how to implement them.

DNS changes only take up to 72 hours to complete propagation. There is no need to take any action on your "old" site. Just make sure the new location is up and ready to handle visitors.
