Archived from groups: alt>www>webmaster (more info?)

Hi,

We have been hosting a client's site for 5 years now.

They decided to get DSL which they did.

The company who they got DSL from insisted they also look after the dom
name as a registry. They said they had to do this so the DSL would work.

They transfered the names from us and delegated them to an IP address,
but it is not the IP address where I have the site.

The site is still on my host server and all requests still go to it.

How can this happen?

Would this be because they have the name redirected to my site ?

I need to know this as I am moving the site to a server with a different
IP # and I can't get a hold of the owners who are overseas and am not
sure who at the DSL company to talk with about whether the site move
will take the site and email off the air.

What I do know is, I must move the site to the new IP# asap.

Any ideas?

Rock

nonsense - I've seen some managed services require this, but there is always
a more sensible solution.

maybe - URL?

have you looked at the output from nslookup or dig?

Well you can do that, but it's probably best to leave it where it is too
until you sort things with the ISP.

The only reason I can think why the DSL company would want to do this
is if they are managing e-mail, or otherwise splitting services and
want to facilitate DNS management. Otherwise, there is no reason for
them to need the domain (though it could be a miscommunication, due to
poor support training, or money-grubbing scheme).

In the first case, they are probably redirecting to you. In any of
the latter, they probably just pocketed the money and left the DNS the
same. You can find out some of this by following William Tasso's
advice by doing nslookup, traceroute the domain, whois, etc.

In any event, they will probably need confirmation from their client
to make any changes.
