Hi Frank,

Thanks for your reply.

The serial should not be of any importance except to the .com & .net slave
nameservers.  To my knowledge, these are all managed by Verisign, so this
should just be a purely internal operation.  I really don't see the
problems here most of you are referring to.

I believe they have a pretty good business case for keeping it in a
working state.

Best regards,
Maarten
