Hello list, I have a strange problem and I don't know what to relate it to. My ISP changed my IP from (eg) 10.1.1.1 to 15.1.1.1. I have changed my zone files to reflect that change. "dig -t mx domain.com" results in mail.domain.com 3600 IN A 15.1.1.1 (the new ip). However when i try: "ping mail.domain.com" it tries to get to 10.1.1.1 the old ip and gets time to live exceeded fro an ip along the route. When i try to ping domain.com it gets all ok as it pings the new ip. I've also tried dig @(forwarders in named.conf) and they to got the correct mx dns entry for domain.com. In rc.conf i have hostname="mail.domain.com" (eg), i haven't changed it, i'm thinking it's something related to hostid or hostuid but i don't know where to search for this topic. If anyone has a clue what to try or where to look upon this behavior please shed some light. Thank you. -- Andrei Brezan 310280 Arad - Romania mobile <+40 740 089 315> email <andrei [at] bsoft-company.ro> www <http://www.bsoft-company.ro/>;
