If they're all changing to the defaults, then after changing the host on the system, 
rerun configure and install again, so that Defaults.py picks up the new DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN
and DEFAULT_URL_HOST and such.  Then just use fix_url.py in the bin directory.  (Which
essentially does what you're doing above, but computes everything for you).

And if it applies to all lists, you can save time by using the -a option to iterate through all lists..
