I know of cases where people used to host DNS with a large ISP and after moving NS to other providers have to contact said ISP to "reset" DNS because their servers kept serving the old records for days... Even though people go on record saying "our servers respect TTLs" it seems some don't...
You mean XTRA right? That was years ago with alien.xtra.co.nz/terminator.xtra.co.nz. They took a long time to split their DNS. I'm not aware of any ISP's in NZ still mixing authorative/recursive. That said, with PPP assigning DNS thankfully it's pretty easy to people to shift to recursive for most customers if they haven't already. That said, I wonder if Paradise customer records are using the non-split DNS. 203.96.152.4 and 203.96.152.12 were popular on cable and it seems that it's very common for people to have these nameservers statically defined. % host -t ns paradise.net.nz paradise.net.nz name server rachel.paradise.net.nz. paradise.net.nz name server kirsty.paradise.net.nz. % host rachel.paradise.net.nz rachel.paradise.net.nz has address 203.96.152.4 Ben.
