I find that changing the > DNS entry takes a couple days to propagate.. All real dns servers cache.

Servers for dynamic versions set that time to *very* short, so the changes propagate quickly. The downside is that their servers get pounded for updates. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Unix/FreeBSD consultant, email for more information.
