All you need to do is change the IP of the namservers. The root registry
controls the "glue" records for all the nameservers, so all your domains
will be automagically updated.
If the domain which the nameservers are based on are associated OpenSRS,
you can change the IPs via the Manage Domain Interface. If the domain is
on another Registrar, you will have to use their nameserver update
utilities. Either or, any domain using these nameservers should update -
if they don't, the Registrar the non-updated domains are on has made a
booboo and a nice complaint should get the problem solved.
OpenSRS honours the Root Registry when it comes to IPs :)
