DNS propagation problems - changed ip

[Alex Teslik]

Hi Derek,

   Thank you very much. Sure enough, a call to the registrar and the ips
finally became updated - seconds later everything started pouring in. Whew!
   I misunderstood DNS in this scenario. My understanding was that an update
of the DNS broadcast from my server would automatically update everything
out there. I suppose now that I think about it more a manual update to the
*authoritative* nameserver seems reasonable. I noticed that
non-authoritative nameservers for the other domains I host automatically
snapped into place once the authoritative one got back in line.
    Thanks again!
