I have a fledgling hosting and e-mail service, running a dns server (nt 4.0) ns.web-quarters.com 216.3.54.51<br>
We recently had a customer wishing to co-host his existing web sever on our bandwidth. He had 3 web-sites living on it with <br>
his other providers IP numbers. He modified with internic to our IP #'s and we set up the name server info accordingly, pointing<br>
to his new IP number, 216.3.54.202, <A HREF=" TARGET="_new"> A whois check shows it indeed points to the correct IP. But the <br>
test in a browser tries to go to the old IP 207.238.42.164. DNS reverse-lookup points our IP # to coralgables.net as it should.<br>
NS lookup shows coralgables.net at the old # as it should'nt.<br>
The changes were made on 2-17-00. He has 2 other sites that were also changed that work perfectly, <A HREF=" TARGET="_new"> <br>
216.3.54.203 and homesteadsun.com 216.3.54.201. <br>
<br>
The name did resolve one night when I was testing it but the next day, no dice. It seems to work, but very rarely.<br>
<br>
Please give me some advice on what to do next as this is the first time we have had problems in over 60 clients.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for your response<br>

look in the cache area in your DNS looking for the problem domain sometimes if you visited the sites while they wher still on the old ISP your DNS will serve up the IP from DNS cache the timeout for holding this stuff is about 3-5 days <p>Steve Bowman<br><a href=mailto:steve.bowman@wayservices.com>steve.bowman@wayservices.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
 
Please ask nicely <br>
the owner of that subnet to update their listing<br>
<A HREF="mailto:dns@digex.net">dns@digex.net</A><br>
<br>
ns.digex.net shows it as 207.238.42.164<br>
<br>
And according to arin they control that subnet.<br>
