You mean different qnetd? If so, then it is enough to update nodes 
config to point to new IP and copy /etc/corosync/qnetd directory to new 
qnetd server and make sure to chown directory to coroqnetd:coroqnetd 
user:group (this gets created dynamically on installation so uid/gid may 
differ between machines).
