Right now RSE doesn't give us notification when a connection is renamed, which means RDT can't react to it.

We have thought of this... which is why the service model allows for multiple service configurations per project. However there is no UI yet to allow you to do this.

Ok... then change the machine the connection points to, but leave the connection name as it is, and it should work.

As long as you keep the connection name in RSE the same, you should be able to muck with the actual connection parameters, regardless of the open/closed state of the project, and it should work.
