DNS Problem

[ScottA]

Hello:

A while ago I had a domain hosted at a company called 9netave. The domain was

http://www.findout.net

I have since setup my own servers and am hosting all my sites on those. I requested that the findout account be terminated by 9net and I set it up on my servers. I then switched the DNS and everything. Everything worked fine.

Now, a few months later, the DNS on the net is pointing to the old IP. No matter what I do I can't get it to point back to the one on my server. The old account has been cancled and they won't give me back the same ip.

I've talked to the people I use for DNS and they said that when the account for findout was first created that someone must have put a hugh TTL (Time to Live) in and a lot of the net must still have the old DNS entry.

I have no idea what to do. It works fine for me and may for you, but it doesn't work for a ton of other people.

Any ideas on getting the DNS entries accross the web to all agree with each other?

Thanks,
Scott

The two domains are:

http://www.investordetective.com

http://www.findout.net

They both need to point to:

208.31.225.140

I never know what they are going to out on the net.
For me they normally work.

Thanks.

Talk to the people who do your dns dns1.enom.com to change the serial number on

http://www.findout.net

from 86 to 2000090101
and this should fix your problem.

The serial number is usually the year date hour,
This will advise all other name servers that they have the
most recent update.
