Centurytel (CenturyHell) DNS Cache Wrong!

I moved a site to a new server and changed nameservers at the same time....and that was 3 days ago.

I can ssh into about 8 different servers around the world, and running ping from all of those servers shows me the correct ip address for the domain. Running lynx show me that they page is pulling up for those people.

Our business uses centurytel dsl and when I ping the domain name, I get an incorrect IP address still. Some how I doubt calling dsl tech support is going to get them to do anything...is there anything I can do to get them to update thier DNS cache?

running a dig from a local machine here I get the following...but those nameservers are wrong.

Code:
dig fitnessrepairparts.com

Any suggestions to get this corrected?
I did leave a copy of the site on the old server to so that I could leave the site up as much as possible during the transfer...so there are still nameserver records and a site at the old host, but they aren't authoritative any longer.

Who is NS3.IXWEBHOSTING.COM? They might be ignoring Time To Live values on the DNS records, in which case they will resolve names until the TTL period lapses and they update their DNS tables with the correct information.

Is IXWEBHOSTING.COM your old ISP or web hosting company? Do you have a local domain running DNS and if so, do you have an entry for FITNESSREPAIRPARTS.COM or an entry for IXWEBHOSTING.COM as an authority or forward lookup?
