Rena, at any given time there are hundreds of name servers on the net that are misconfigured in any of a dozen ways. Probably the people who can't reach your site are dependent on one of those servers, either directly or upstream from them, so the new DNS information isn't being passed on. It can be extremely difficult to find the problem, and even more difficult to get it resolved. The good news is that eventually these things tend to sort themselves out. The bad news is that it can take a long time for that to happen. (Just as an example, our server had the most bizarre routing you can imagine for most of a year, with packets coming from Melbourne to Sydney to California, several hand-offs in the United States, through Europe and Asia, and back to the other coast of Australia before finally arriving right back in Melbourne. Every packet went entirely around the world! And all because someone's BGP router wasn't set up properly...). bonni
