It's possible. From a remote server (the www.randomlogic.com server,
located at another data center, using different DNS) I get a
consistent result of the wrong IP. Here at home - using Cox DNS
servers, I get inconsistent results. I suspect there are some
customers (and customers of customers) out there that have no problem,
and others that do. My phone has been quiet, so I'm hoping those with
problems are the few and far between.

What really pisses me off is that the management software we're using
is what sent the wrong IP out in the first place. When changing DNS
records, it makes the change in the various files (zone files, top
level files, etc.) and then restarts named all in one move. No chance
to verify the changes before they're committed, and the GUI does not
show all DNS records. The manual says NOT to edit files by hand. Well,
fsck that, next time I do it by hand. What a stupid interface for
something as important as DNS records.
