It's not very bad; basically anyone that uses the old DNS server will get
wrong data.  If that's a small set then it isn't a big problem.  We get it
occasionally when a customer moves a domain but doesn't notify us; our
customers are unable to email them or go to their website.

Once you have moved the registration, the company should be more willing to
work with you regarding DNS, since Netsol no longer points to them.
