How about this: Nslookup Set type=ptr a.b.c.d.in-addr.arpa (where IP address = d.c.b.a)
if this returns the FQDN of the server you need to look in your reverse lookup zone on your DNS server.

Also I have do the following. Nslookup Set type=A Set D2 Oldservername.domain.domain.org and it gives a reponse, which means DNS still knows about it. I have rebooted both primary and secondary DNS servers. Which should have cleared the cache and still no luck. Looks the same from multiple workstations therefore its not a HOSTS problem. Help?
