This didn't make it through yesterday. Just to update: It's all good now.
FYI, for any web hosting admins out there, I reiterate my statement below. Avoid the use of H-Sphere for your management software. The few issues it has turn out to cause major problems.

It's possible. From a remote server (the www.randomlogic.com server, located at another data center, using different DNS) I get a consistent result of the wrong IP. Here at home - using Cox DNS servers, I get inconsistent results. I suspect there are some customers (and customers of customers) out there that have no problem, and others that do. My phone has been quiet, so I'm hoping those with problems are the few and far between. What really pisses me off is that the management software we're using is what sent the wrong IP out in the first place. When changing DNS records, it makes the change in the various files (zone files, top level files, etc.) and then restarts named all in one move. No chance to verify the changes before they're committed, and the GUI does not show all DNS records. The manual says NOT to edit files by hand. Well, fsck that, next time I do it by hand. What a stupid interface for something as important as DNS records.
OK, I'm using a different set of DNS servers now (from home), and I've seen mail nearly stop on our mail relay while at the same time increase on the main mail server. I think maybe the records are propagating now. I guess I'll find out if this mail gets through. BTW, for all you web hosting admins out there: Avoid using H-Sphere. -- Paul G.
