  D'oh!  You're right.  I always forget that.

  Not if if you're swapping the IP configurations, as described above.
 In that case, the device names should stay the same.  Alternatively,
you can swap the device names, and keep the IP configuration
untouched.  Swapping both will end up doing nothing.

  Only if changing device names, and not the assigned IP configurations.

  That's a good idea.
