SWMBO's websites have been migrated to a sensible provider but one of them kept resolving back to the Company That Has No Name. The name servers were all updated at the same time and the other two websites worked fine. Using my router to do a DNS lookup from its' control panel confirmed the misrouting.
Did the usual. Switched the router off/on...even though it is set-up to point to my ISPs DNS server... no joy. Still pointing erroneously. Suggests that Zens' DNS server not updated but Zen support (how refreshing isn't it to get someone on the end of the phone (a) within seconds of making the call and (b) knowing things) checked and their DNS server pointed to the correct point. I got Steve M to check the site and he could see it OK.
Switched the Mac off/on. No joy. Cleared browser cache. No joy. Tried a different browser. No joy.
Rebooted the router from its control panel. Still nothing. Notice router has changed back to Automatically get IP address from ISP and so force it to go straight to Zen's DNS servers IP address. OK...DNS lookup gives the right info now.
Back to the Mac. Still no joy. Mmmm....maybe the Mac has a dns cache inside it. Use dscacheutil -flushcache from the Terminal. Bingo.
