MT Trackback Pings...

I posted this in the MovableType Support Forum today.

Because of some MySQL DB errors that I was getting after I transferred my MT DB to a new host, I had to delete a Weblog from within MT and import all of the entries back into a newly created Weblog. This, of, course, created new entry locations within the DB (i.e., the imported entries had to be created with new unique IDs). Because of this, every Trackback reference that’s ever been done to any of my entries is now invalid (e.g., if an entry used to be at http://www.site.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-tb.cgi/100 and after importing it is now http://www.site.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-tb.cgi/500.html, any previous ping that pointed at entry #100 will no longer work).

Would there be any way to change this — like Trackbacking title-based locations?

How about any of you out there? Any ideas?
