I suspect that somewhere, one of their servers has the wrong data, or some resolver is misbehaving, but based on the pattern/traffic/volume/randomization of hostnames, the resolver theory is less likely. I haven't analyzed the source IPs yet to see if they're in a particular set of countries.
Hi Erik, Look up "DNS pinning." I can't rule out the possibility of a faulty DNS server but it's far more likely your customers' web browsers are simply ignoring the DNS TTL. Malfunctioning as designed. If you keep it live, you'll notice a falling trickle of traffic to the old address for the next year or so. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D.
