DNS Issues - Moving Website

[SnowAviation]

This may not be an issue appropriate for this forum and if so, sorry, but I am at a dead end on this.

A week and a half ago I moved my website from a friends server to a commercial host. I made the DNS changes with my Domain registrar and everything seemed to go OK.

When I do a lookup my site is resolved at the new host, but when I try to access my site I only see the correct host about 50% of the time. My Host and Domain registrar both said it was an issue with my ISP's DNS and it should straighten itself out in a few days.

It did not.

I have my three computers set up to "Obtain a DNS automatically" All of these are on a LAN behind a router. One will see the correct site and another will see the old site. I can set my DNS manually to say 4.2.2.1 and it may work OK for a few hours then I end up back at the old server.

It would seem that the issue is mine and not my ISP but I cannot find anyone who can figure out what is happening.

Any thoughts?

I assume you are talking about the domain socaltracon.com. If that is the case, then DNS seems to be fine:


vbind.com /home/allan#dig @NS1.HOSTORANGE.COM www.socaltracon.com A

;; ANSWER SECTION:
www.socaltracon.com. 86400 IN A 194.7.96.163



vbind.com /home/allan#dig @NS2.HOSTORANGE.COM www.socaltracon.com A

So, it would appear to be a problem with your ISP, most likely they have a forced TTL on their caching nameservers that has not expired.

Your best bet is to find out the IP Addresses of your caching nameservers and query each one of those to find out which is causing you problem. You can then ask your ISP to reload the caching server, which will clear up the problem (NOTE: I said you can ask, I did not say they would do it, or that the first level tech people would even understand the question ;)).

Thanks for the help, the ISP's DNS finally got caught up. All is well.
