No, Domain Direct people use the same APIs. I didn't specifically mean
'use unregister capabilities of OpenSRS API', but rather, - make sure
those domains can not be used by the guy whose credit card failed on
capture funds, it may simply mean resetting contact and nameserver info to
your RSP.
In practice, you never have to resort to such measures: we are not talking
about stolen credit cards numbers or exceeding credit limits - those cards
will fail on authorization. The likelyhood of a successful authorization
and then failure on capturing funds 1-2 seconds later is virtually zero:
even if your network connectivity goes down during that window, you should
be able to capture that transaction later.
