nameserver update
Hi,
Just a quick question...how often are NTL's caches updated? I ask because I had to update the nameserver entries for a domain I have and I am now struggling to access my email (sending and recieving) and the domain (plus the sub domains attached to it). The namserver entries were updated over a week ago.
I have been over to my parents today who use Virgin as an ISP and had no problem accessing email or the domain(s) using their connection when I tested (using the laptop I use at home but their wireless connection)...
Just as an aside, I don't actually have any of NTL's proxies addresses manually entered into my laptop or smoothwall firewall...

Re: nameserver update
DNS servers update themselves, that's how they work, there is no set period, it depends on the TTL settings for the dns entries themselves.

Re: nameserver update
TBH, it's more likely to be stale pages in the proxy server, try a CTRL-F5.

Re: nameserver update
no problem for me, either - I haven't got a explicit proxy set, but default to Nottingham as the 'transparent' proxy.
