Title: DNS - how long?
Post by: Ricisbest on Nov 07, 2007, 16:11:46
How long is it meant to take for IDNet's DNS to update? 

I've added an 'A' entry with my domain provider last night, and IDNet's DNS is still pointing me to the holding page. 

If I use OpenDNS, however, I get the right page!  I'm not very experienced with DNS - am I missing something here? 

Cheers! :)

I'd suggest a call to support, they'll be able to tell you how long it should take, and look at any problems if they exist.

Seems to have come through on IDNet's DNS now.  I think it must just be that different DNS servers update at different times. 

;D

Propagation has always seemed to be an inexact science...
