One option might be to replace the old IP with i.e. 127.0.0.1: testing would be fast and produce minimum resource utilization and the very low ping times would mark the date of replacement.

you could amend the RRD file to change the way old data is combined/smoothed.

it's probably also worth doing an rrd dump archive so that you can
recover the historic data if you need to create a new .RRD file from
it with different settings.
