I have just moved my main site (in sig) onto another server. every other 5 members of my team can see the new site so the domain has resolved no prob but i cant. Ok. that would be a temp files issue. Im on a mac. so i cleared my files and everything. Still not working.

All im getting is the old site.
I tryed with FF and IE
I retset safari - still the problem
Tryed useing the dedicated IP from the new server and im still getting the old site.
I used a proxy site and the site loaded fine.

Im lost.

Any ideas.

Are your team members in the same office or do you all just work at different locations? Sounds like your ISP is not updating their dns records. If you ping the site in a command box (no clue what you call it for a Mac) what IP do you get? It sounds like either your Mac is caching dns or your ISP is. The UK ips are *horrible* for this, they have gotten better in the last year or two but it would not suprise me if they sometimes cache stuff for too long.

We all work at different locations. Thinking about it My ISP could be the problem but its been a good 2 hours now. Surely they are not that bad. When i ping i get the dedicated IP of the new server. Im sure that its all ok server side. Just my stupid mac or like you said ISP.

What tops it all off is that the damn support desk is thundering out errors and i cant see them to fix it.

Thanks for your reply

Guys its still doing it. 6 hours after the DNS change.

->terminal and do a
sudo lookupd -flushcache


This clears your DNS lookup cache. Might want to change your DNS servers too I use 4.2.2.2 as primary and my ISP as secondary. 4.2.2.2 is globally distributed dns server so it wont be like 300+ms away
