It's been a week... DNS won't change

    I changed the DNS on one of my sites about a week ago, and 99% of my traffic is now viewing the site on the new server, however me and one of my business partners still see the old server when we go to the site.

    When I look over at the new site I see 600 users online, then I check the old server and I see just me and maybe two other people.

    I have cleared my cookies / temp files but that doesn't seem to do anything.


    Anyone know what the problem might be? Usually when I switch my domain's DNS I see the new server within 1-2 days.

    Could well be your upstream DNS servers are still serving stale records.

    There's an article I wrote on avoiding the effects of these problems (if not the problems themselves) here.

    give more details...

    are you editing the dns record or is it like a host?
    what is your refresh set at?

    if you and your partner are accessing the site through a router, trying rebooting the router. This happened to me once and dns wasn't updated until the server was rebooted.
