Ratholing + taking table offline

We recently upgraded from lite to pro and intend to rake the cash game until it's paid off. Calculating this, it seems we'll have it covered in the middle of a poker night. So the idea is to turn off the rake at that point, meaning I have to take the table offline. We run max 100BB buy in but at the point there will be players with stacks over this. When I take it offline and put it back up online, how will that work with ratholing and max buy in? Ideally I want everyone back at the table with the same stacks as when I took it offline. As they can change seats during the game, I'm not too focused on the seating, but I'm worried that there's no history when I take the table offline.

Did a quick test and it was as I feared - it's back to the default buy in range. It is quite the corner case though so I can't really blame the software (or the design).

Taking a table offline clears out all of its memory, including the internal rat-hole log. Ring tables are not designed to have their rake settings adjusted on the fly.
