@leny2010 ah yes, I remember that about dig, at least. Long time since I'e used such tools - or configured a DNS zone for that matter - I forget details. :( But testing the domain with the Hurricane Electric Network Tools just now actualy shows up the new data. But ping from my laptop still gets old data. :-/ Some kind of caching in the way somewhere - I have vague memories of encountering that before and working around it, but I forgot how...
@leny2010 ...and now I realise I forgot one thing when changing the DNS servers at Gandi: I should have lowered the TTL for the zone before that. Well, that's what happens when you remember a lot but not quite enough :-/
@leny2010 actually, the app says AAAA record for the main domain is missing (Linode does show it, automatically generated); for the subdomain (made A and AAAA records separately via Linode's nice UI) the DNS tool says both A and AAAA records are present. Maybe propagation is just incomplete... *shrug*
@leny2010 I've done quite a lot with DNS zones, from using good (and helpful) UIs to manually editing zone files in vi. Last time was well over a year ago, and my memory is funny: I tend to remember (mostly) the #what of doing things, while often forgetting the #how - after all I can always look things up, as long as I know *what* to look for ;-) A lot of things are coming back now. Linode's UI for their DNS editor looks nice and clean but isn't helpful, a lot of things are hidden behind the text 'default'. I don't like that. I do like Hurricane Electric's tools. :)
OK, by now it seems old records have been 'dropped' - where ping first showed results from Gandi, now it says host not known, and dig comes back with NXDMAIN (same thing). #kindofprogres. I also poked areound a little and it seems Gandi's 'standard' TTL is 3 hours (10800). I'll just go to bed, this should have sorted itself out by #tomorrow morning. :)
