I run a mail server on my DSL service (which the provider is fine with), however yesterday I had to restart my modem which after the IP address changed when the modem connected again everything stopped working..
The mail server runs a wget script to update freedns with the current IP address, which it has successfully done. However when I ping my domain (carsons.net.au) I'm getting the old IP address.
The server has been updating records which has worked for the past 18 months - nothings changed. I'm guessing this is a DNS issue somewhere that is probably out of my hands, but I'd like to know if anyone has any suggestions?
Called my ISP and arranged for an immediate plan change to one that I can have a static IP.. I'll then just have to wait for DNS servers around the world to get the update through..
yeah that server may have 2 DNS records for you and you recieved one or the other. Hopefully the static IP should fix your issue
