All I am trying to do is move my wife's site from one server to another. Here goes. Note that DNS lookups point to the server as on the IP 216.12.211.202. Which is correct.

Now when you go to http://www.reneeteeter.com you are taken to the server it used to be on and consequently which is also the name server it is defined on: 66.96.208.10. (The home page shows up as KodiWolf.com.)

WHY?!?!?!?!

This makes no sense to me whatsoever and I've been working on this for hours now.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks - Brian

It shows up correctly for me. Sounds like your DNS servers still have the old DNS entries cached. Try again in 4 hours.

reneeteeter.com. 4H IN SOA ns1.assortedinternet.com. root.ns1.assortedinternet.com. (

Note that in your SOA you have refresh set to 8 hours, so your nameserver is telling other name servers who query it to cache the record for 8 hours before refreshing it. I think :stickout

yep, that sounds right cos it works here as well

The refresh is only relevant to secondary DNS servers. The TTL is what tells other DNS servers how long to cache the record.

OIC - thanks. Can I clarrify that in the dig output I posted, the TTL is shown by the minumim value

1D ) ; minimum


Is that saying that the minumum TTL is 1 day?

Thanks :)

oh - no love for freakysid :(
