So, basically I made some changes to my named file. My hostname changed, so I needed to update it. Plus I didn't have the reverse records config'd properly so I changed them too. Now I have a problem. My server 'india' won't return any A records when I dig my domain. Although the root servers will still point me to my website, but according to them it's on my old 'achilles' server.
Digging from the india server ... no reply

Dig from my desktop, fine but it points to the wrong computer ... probably just waiting for the cache to expire. But it works fine for some reason. I can find my website.

Also, when I try to do a reverse look up, it points me to my hosts domain name ... this should be on 183.232.72.india.eccindustries.info as far as I know.
