DNS Not Updating for Website.

[dercoss]

I recently moved a website to a new host. At the same time email was changed from pop3 to smtp carried out by Exchange Server. I am running a small network with Small Business Server 2003. MX records were changed by my ISP and seems to be working ok.

The problem is that when I update the website using ftp, all goes well and pc's outside the network can see the updated site but all the pc's inside the network only see the orginal site.

I've run nslookup and the IP address returned for the website is the one relating to where the site USED to be hosted not the current host.

I guess the dns is not updating but how do I force it to reflect the current state of play?? I've looked through all the entries in dns but can't find any reference to anything that might help...

If the server is authoritative to update the DNS you should not have a problem, but most of the times the problem is simply solved by changing the DNS entries manually.

Could you advise me how to do this? It is only this site that is the problem..

If I use tracert for the site, I end up at my old hosting company. Does this mean that this company is still hosting the website along with the new host, or is it just my dsn that is returning the erroneous route?

Problems solved...

I've just spoken to the old hosting company, which is also my ISP and they have told me they haven't deleted the old dns record which is causing the problem...
