Old Zone files causing havoc [OT]
« on: August 27, 2002, 08:46:50 PM »
I do not know a whole lot about how all this works, but I was hoping someone here had some experience with this.
It seems a old webhost of mine from 3 years ago (CI Host), maintains an entry for my domain in their zone files. For the last 3 years I have had a new host and everything has been fine. Now I am moving everything to an SME box, and am using a third party DNS service to direct the domain to my IP. It seems that this old hosts DNS servers are intercepting requests and routing them to some dudes site on their network. I don't remember my IP address from back when, but the IP of this other site looks a little familiar.

Using traceroute from a bunch of different locations reveals that traffic never even gets to my ISP network.
These are the last few lines of a trace route:
14  iah-core-02.inet.qwest.net (205.171.31.2)  217.594 ms  217.479 ms  217.365 ms
15  dal-core-01.inet.qwest.net (205.171.8.125)  221.886 ms  222.274 ms  222.793 ms
16  dal-edge-07.inet.qwest.net (205.171.25.54)  221.594 ms  221.923 ms  230.255 ms
17  ci-dfw-OC12.cust.qwest.net (65.118.50.2)  222.514 ms  225.471 ms  222.316 ms
18  gige1.fire0.propagation.net (66.34.255.2)  217.262 ms  216.945 ms  217.288 ms
19  gige4.core0.propagation.net (66.34.255.10)  222.893 ms  222.907 ms  222.902 ms
20  63.249.203.22 (63.249.203.22)  217.882 ms  218.188 ms  217.691 ms

These propagation.net name servers have nothing to do with me at all. I have had no luck getting in touch with the administrators for these networks. Does anyone have any advice for fixing this problem? Is there a way to query a nameserver for it's entries?
