Hi Michael,

Probably not, but I wanted to be sure.

Let's see what's going on then:

    $ dig +noall +answer +auth +comments -t a ilovephilosophy.com
    ;; Got answer:
    ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 55221
    ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 3, ADDITIONAL: 0


    ;; ANSWER SECTION:
    ilovephilosophy.com.    86365   IN      A       212.13.195.254


    ;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
    ilovephilosophy.com.    86365   IN      NS      a.authns.bitfolk.com.
    ilovephilosophy.com.    86365   IN      NS      c.authns.bitfolk.com.
    ilovephilosophy.com.    86365   IN      NS      b.authns.bitfolk.com.


So yes, it seems DNS holds your old IP address.

Nameservers for this domain?:

    $ dig +short -t ns ilovephilosophy.com
    c.authns.bitfolk.com.
    a.authns.bitfolk.com.
    b.authns.bitfolk.com.


Only BitFolk.

What's the address record at each one, and your own server?:

    $ for n in {a,b,c}.authns.bitfolk.com 85.119.83.254; do echo ${n}:; dig=
 +short -t a ilovephilosophy.com @${n}; done
    a.authns.bitfolk.com:
    212.13.195.254
    b.authns.bitfolk.com:
    212.13.195.254
    c.authns.bitfolk.com:
    212.13.195.254
    85.119.83.254:
    212.13.195.254


Your server has 212.13.195.254; not a BitFolk issue.

If I go to http://85.119.83.254/ then it looks like it's working.
So, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to make your
nameserver at 85.119.83.254 return the correct address record for
ilovephilosophy.com and www.ilovephilosophy.com.

That will involve a zone update, which BitFolk's servers should then
pick up.

You can test from another unix box like this:

dig +short -t a ilovephilosophy.com @85.119.83.254

I have repressed all memories of how to check this under Windows using
nslookup.

Do let the list know if you have any problems.

Cheers,
Andy
