Not as far as I am aware. But due to broken software at Verisign, if you change the IP address of a host record at OpenSRS but fail to change the host record in use by domains still at NetSol, the invalid host entry at NetSol will "reserve" the old IP address, so that it can't be recycled for use as a host record for someone else. This is further incentive to move all your customers' domains over to OpenSRS AS SOON AS YOU CAN. The Veridrones who answer the phone simply do not understand this problem; I exchanged email back and forth about six times before finally buckling and sitting on the phone for an hour and a half one day going through escalation after escalation. Man, I hate Verisign.
