Not a good idea!  I can change the IP address I have assigned to this
project without warning for a variety of reasons...

What I don't understand is that an invalid DNS cache for
*.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net has been floating around the Internet. 
I would suggest giving it a couple days and trying again.  If the problem
persists then please let me know.

I would also be interested in the output of

nslookup quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net

Thanks!
