But also a "dig @66.203.160.5 lwp.ca" prints the right answer.

One thing:
the nameservers are: ns3.bellglobal.com and ns1.motocrosscanada.ca but only the first one is valid (has an IP adress...) the second cannot be resolved.

Hope this helps...

Hi, I just got new secondary dns server just now. which will be valid.

The ip 66.203.160.5 is my ISPs dns server i believe, and i think it caches dns requests so it works even when things don't for others--makes it really hard to figure out where the root of the problem is.

Also, i noticed that ispcp sets up ns1 and ns2 in the zone files. Should i be using these as the primary name servers? VHCS2 i believe just called them ns without numbers, if so i will have to update all my domains primary name servers to ns1.domain.tld .

One thing also, is that walton.compar.com always works even during these times of weirdness and is the only domain i can use to ssh into my server with during these times.

Thanks,
James
