If I understand him correctly, he is refering to the way the dns system works.

Atif Munir,

The DNS system will randomly select a name server; it doesn't go by what domain name server is first in the list, but what is responding with the most up-to-date information.

If you are getting a different website on each name server then you need to update the out-of-date server to reflect the same information as the current and correct server.

HI,
My first NS1 was down so sites were browsing using NS2. Now I have bring the NS1 up but still sites are resolving using the NS2.


Is it will take time to propogate this info?

Yes, until NS1 propogates again (12-48 hours) everyone will browse using NS2 as their name server.
