HTTP response for 'update your DNS dammit!'

Hi,

I made a DNS change recently but notice that some users (usually server-based requests) and search spiders are still sending requests to the old IP. Is there an HTTP status message I can use to say 'look, you'll get this site fine if you update your DNS'? I don't want to put up a holding page as that will result in a 200-OK and ruin my search indexes in google, etc.

Thanks,

Chandy
