I suspect there was another problem. We have two sets of nameservers that we use on a daily basis. One set is with OpenSRS, the other set is with BulkRegister. We add clients to both sets of nameservers whose domains are register through Network Solutions. Never have a problem. In fact, we just added one client who switched 27 domains to us Thursday from his previous hosting company. All 27 are registered with Network Solutions and we did not have any problems changing the nameserver information to the nameservers registered with OpenSRS. And yes, we are talking to him about moving his domain name registrations to us as well now that we have all his sites up and working. :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Derek J.
