Some info.
On an NT or UNIX box at the command prompt type.
nslookup
Your are now in the nslookup shell right? *nod nod*
type set q=all (set query=all)
then type ns1.domain.com
and find the Authoritative DNS
Contact Sys Admin of the DNS
and ask for the record to be changed.
Note the mail exchange records also need to be changed usually (MX)
Etc.
(example for yahoo.com)
> yahoo.com
Server: ns2.this.is changed.com
Address: xxx.xxx.0.1
Non-authoritative answer:
yahoo.com nameserver = ns1.yahoo.com
yahoo.com nameserver = ns2.dca.yahoo.com
yahoo.com nameserver = ns3.europe.yahoo.com
yahoo.com nameserver = ns5.dcx.yahoo.com
yahoo.com nameserver = ns1.yahoo.com
yahoo.com nameserver = ns2.dca.yahoo.com
yahoo.com nameserver = ns3.europe.yahoo.com
yahoo.com nameserver = ns5.dcx.yahoo.com
ns1.yahoo.com internet address = 204.71.200.33
ns3.europe.yahoo.com internet address = 194.237.108.51
As you can see I had a "Non-authoritative answer" from my DNS.....
BUT ns1.yahoo.com is the first listed so is most likely the
Authoritative DNS server. Who ever is admin of this system could make the
DNS changes to yahoo.com.
