Ok, this is kind of odd... Help!?!

[DestinyBWL]

I'm a tech and I have never quite seen this before...[nbsp][nbsp]I changed my DNS with internic yesterday to move to futurequest.[nbsp][nbsp]I run a whois on my site, and it is now setup as futurequest, HOWEVER, when I ran a dig yesterday everything in the authority section and additional section said dynamicweb.net (which was my old host and was correct), but today it says:

Generic Top Level Domain Servers dot Net?

Hmmmm....

[Terra]

When you receive that, it usually means that you queried a root name server that doesn't handle that particular .tld...

Run the following instead:
$dig @a.root-servers.net modemhelp.net

You'll see that FutureQuest is now authoritative for your domain...

Ah, interesting.[nbsp][nbsp]I have another question now as well.[nbsp][nbsp]How does one find out what their Website's TTL was set at so that they can find out about how long it will take for DNS to propogate?

[DestinyBWL]

Thanks Paul![nbsp][nbsp]You can call me Destiny, Brad, Bradford, The ModemGuru, whatever you'd like.[nbsp][nbsp]Once my schedule is less hectic I'll probably start posing in your computer forums solving any sort of ISP troubles people are having, and become an active part of the community forums.[nbsp][nbsp]Especially since I have alot to learn about databases and the ilk.

Okay, Brad.. nice to meet ya!

You would ask your old hosts DNS servers directly...

$dig @ns1.dynamicweb.com modemhelp.com

a) I'm not sure if that is their primary DNS servers
b) If your zone file is still in their DNS servers

If they are running industry standard 86400 seconds, then you might as well figure 1 to 5 days for full external propagation...

The 2-5 days are for those brain dead Proxies and DNS *cough*MicroSoft*cough* servers that don't always honor TTL's properly...

Is it the 1D IN NS &amp; 1D IN A that states the TTL?[nbsp][nbsp](ie 1 day?)[nbsp][nbsp]If that is true, then around 5 o'clock today I am assuming I should begin seeing fast reliable service that modemhelp.net again.[nbsp][nbsp]YAY!!!!!![nbsp][nbsp]Finally!!![nbsp][nbsp]The future is mine![nbsp][nbsp]Bwahahahahahahahaha.[nbsp][nbsp];)

I've been experiencing the most slowdown I have ever seen over the past 3-4 weeks and I did ALOT of reseach this time around into webhosts.[nbsp][nbsp]After finding several that looked good, but then found bad comments about them, and problems with them, I found futurequest, a webhost with nothing against them, only people who say that you are actually an honest host, and have great service.[nbsp][nbsp]It was a toss between hostrocket and futurequest, but after research, a little bit of digging, comparisons, etc, I decided to go with futurequest.[nbsp][nbsp]Hoping my future domains will be on a futurequest as well :o)

Hi there Destiny.. (may I call you Destiny?)

We certainly appreciate you being here, and.. it is great to hear that everything is going smoothly for you with the changeover. (and we hope to earn the ability to host your other domains!) ;)

Welcome to FutureQuest!

PS- Great service you provide..
