An inadvertent DNS change was made on one of our domains yesterday. While the rest of the ISP world seems to be working correctly after propagation for the fix, I can not get Comcast / Xfinity to clear the stale records.
Anyone have suggestions or experience in moving them along?
This has been a not altogether infrequent request for a couple decades, all the way back to the time when I was the one who got bit in 96, and a *phone call to NetSol* was the prescription. :-) But -- especially in a world where the people who operate eyeball network DNS customer resolver servers hold the shape of the Internet in their hands, and have been known to monkey with it (by, eg, flooring TTLs on records to times much longer than you set, simply to reduce their own machine load) -- am I the only one who thinks that it might be time for a more formal solution to this problem? Certainly the technology isn't *that* hard to manage/deploy/invent at this late date... Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
