So, why not just create a second wwwmaster, that is templateless ... we'll 
call it wwwmaster2.postgresql.org for testing purposes ... then, once we 
know its all working, we shutdown the old and restart the new was 
wwwmaster?

Is there anything in wwwmaster that would need to be transferred across, 
or is it all db (or script) generated?

I can guarantee you it will be down for at least an hour, since once its 
brought back up, the system is pretty bare (not even PHP), so we need to 
install all the various apps specific to that vServer ...
