DNS not routing correctly

Posted on May 12, 2020

Have a site on Digital Ocean so the DNS at godaddy is pointed to ns1.digitalocean.com, ns2.digitalocean.com and ns3.digitalocean.com

On Digital Ocean->Networking->domains A domain.com routes to 134.xxx.xxx.xxx A www.domain.com routes to 134.xxx.xxx.xxx

NS domain.com directs to ns1.digitalocean.com NS domain.com directs to ns2.digitalocean.com NS domain.com directs to ns3.digitalocean.com

The server block is located in /etc/nginx/conf.d/domain.com

When my business partners in NYC on a verizon network do a traceroute it ends up at a 198.xxx.xxx.xxx When I do a traceroute on Cox network in middle America I get it going to 134.xxx.xxx.xxx

Any ideas why in a different area of the country it won’t resolve. We’ve had the domain set up for over a week now.

Hi there @austinCoral,

This sounds like DNS caching, note that once you make a DNS change it could take up to 24-48 hours for the DNS cache to clear over the Globe before you could see the new changes.

Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
