Hi guys, I have a bit of an odd problem. I recently moved server and changed the nameservers as per usual. All seemed fine but every now and then it keeps reverting back to the old nameservers??? Its been doing this for about 2 days. They way I know it is reverting back is becuase on the old server I put a 301 redirect to the name.dns3.com/~name , and when I go to activate mod rewrite short links it comes up with error.. So I have had to leave the links full for the time being, but every now and then I will be viewing name.dns3.com/~name/SITE.php instead of URL.COM/SITE.PHP Anything I can do guys?
It can take up to 72 hours for the dns to fully propagate. And then there is always the small isp that only refreshes their dns cache once per week. Really! There are a few out there. I would not be concerned unless the problem continues more than a week after the nameserver change.
Do you have access to the dns records on both servers? On the old server, you could edit the A record to point to the ip of your new server, which should help (speed) it along. On the new server, double check that the dns actually shows your new nameservers. I've seen cases where they've picked up the old ones.
