I have a similar issue with a /21 which should belong to me. It's in the
middle of UUnet's block. They have claimed they own it in private mail, but
neither of us have actually updated the contact record, which indicates my
predecessor owns it. For now it's fine, since I like uunet, and probably
won't change that.
The real problem with portability seems to be getting the route advertised.
A /21 has a chance (I think), but a /24 probably is going to be tough. My
guess is that you won't be able to get anyone to route it, and even if you
do, it might not be accepted globally.

Yes. Thats the beauty of Host records. Your domains have a host handle.
When you update the IP associated with that handle, all the domains that
use that handle are also updated.
To make this go smoothly, you will need a secondary nameserver in your
whois records that won't change, so you will still have service during the
overlap.
