Three days under your desk?
No, its not crazy. It is annoying, maybe very annoying, however you have to wait for all relevant nodes to have your old DNS info expired.
You might try using a VPN to some location far away, where you have never been before; and then ping again.

The Windows 11 "taskbar" is disgusting. It should be at the left of the screen, with real icons, with text, progress, etc. They downgraded my developer PC to a bloody iPhone.

I have a DigitalOcean droplet running Debian out there on the web.
Earlier I ssh'd out to it and pinged it and it was getting 205.
I just connected to it again and I got the 64.x address.
I guess it is slowly getting propagated to DNS. Again, the weirdest thing is that this computer I'm on was getting the 64.x address & now isn't and I can't seem to get it to get back to 64.x.
Still under my desk.

I just hit it on the 64. address.

Thanks very much for trying. I tried it again and I still get the 205 address.
I'm going to drink some coffee & hide under my desk for a while.

Pinging from The Netherlands, 2022-01-26, 08:25 UTC and got the 64.* address. Seems to be working in order, as I've never visited this address before...

Thanks for your help. I appreciate it. It looks like it finally propagated through to me too.

My ping gave 64.209.142.205 - I'm in the UK

Thanks for letting me know. I appreciate it. It looks like it finally got through on my side too and I see 64.x.

Just pinged 64... here in the UK.

Thanks for trying it out. I appreciate it. It seems like it finally got through to me too.

I recently had some DNS issues, and my hosting provider suggested this whatsmydns.net[^] (which is possibly the most useful thing they've ever suggested  ) Easy-to-use and gives you a pretty good overview of what's happening where.

very interesting. I will check it out. Thanks for posting.

Wow, that is really cool!!!

I get the new address at 64.209.142.205.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

Thanks very much. It looks like it did finally propagate through to me too.

I've got the new one (26.01.'22 21:10).

Many years ago, I posted another weird DNS oddity...another domain name was pointed to my address. Even after I redirected to a custom page 'hey, check your DNS settings...' it stayed that way for several years until the webhost upgraded.

Oh no! I'm going to be under my desk for a long, long time.

I'd go even as far as to move my desk to a galaxy far, far away...

Next time (hopefully there won't be one, but you never know) try using "nslookup" which allows you to use different name servers to see where the problem lies.
By default nslookup uses your default nameserver - just type "nslookup" to start it and get the default, viz:
C:\Windows\System32>nslookup
Default Server: pi.hole
Address: 192.168.1.37 Now type in the host name that you are looking for
> www.ibm.com
Server: pi.hole
Address: 192.168.1.37
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: e7817.dscx.akamaiedge.net
Addresses: 2a02:26f0:d6:39e::1e89
2a02:26f0:d6:382::1e89
104.125.7.129
Aliases: www.ibm.com
www.ibm.com.cs186.net
outer-global-dual.ibmcom-tls12.edgekey.netNow change the name server to see if you get the same answer.
> server 8.8.8.8
Default Server: dns.google
Address: 8.8.8.8
> www.ibm.com
Server: dns.google
Address: 8.8.8.8
etc...
I hope that this helps.
P.S. you will notice that I use pi-hole https://pi-hole.net/[^] , if you don't already, you should do! Kills most adverts and dodgy sites.
So old that I did my first coding in octal via switches on a DEC PDP 8

Always check your DNS configuration.
Also, on that machine, do
nslookup host 8.8.8.8 -- A fixed name server (like one getting it correct)
nslookup host -- use your default name server
Doing this, you can slowly trace through every device to find it.
FWIW, we have had serious delays in CABLE MODEM Country where they can take 5-7 days for some clients.
And we have now started WEEKS in advance, lowering the TTL (cache time).
And then making the change Friday night. 98% is all good by Sunday. But those cable companies.
Anyways, this will eventually let you see who is getting it wrong.
And always check the hosts files (but you know that)
Finally, it sounds like you know to double check the ordering of your dns.
