Several weeks ago he changed the IP address and I updated the DNS records here for him. Now if we do a: nslookup hisdomain serverx we get his old IP address back. If we turn around and do a: dig @serverx hisdomain we get the new IP address back, then if we go back and do another nslookup, it returns the correct IP. I expected cached entries to expire after 7 days, so I'm confused about where other servers are getting the old IP address. Would someone explain what is happening? Thanks. -- Tom Greenwalt (F.O.E.)
