I believe root servers typically refresh every 12 hours. I know that when I was involved in an IP change, we drastically decreased the TTL before changing the IP's. I also recall having a problem in that we couldn't update our NS records because someone was using us for DNS - that took a call to the registrar of the offending site. I assume you've already talked with your registrar about this change. Right now I can see the 65.x.x.x IP for ufies.org. -- Marshal Newrock, unemployed Linux user in Lansing, MI Caution: Product will be hot after heating -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
