Jan,
I feel your pain. But as others have said, it is NOT a good idea. What about
those sites which use localhost for something other than mysql, also? If you
changed localhost, all that would break, also.
localhost is meant to be specifically the local machine - that's what it's there
for. And you really need to leave it that way.
I agree with Erwin - talk to your webmasters. And no migration like your doing
is "seamless".
I also agree with Colin - this is WAY off topic and has nothing to do with PHP.
