Root Nameserver Showing Wrong Address

I've had a problem with mail going to the server olie.appweb.com.  Several
people, not all, get mail returned as undeliverable.  When I checked out
AOL's dns and did a dig, I got the following results.

olie.appweb.com is showing as 204.247.188.1, when it should show as
216.218.222.66.  The twist is that the name servers (ns1, ns2) have the
correct ip address and if queried.

The 204.247.188.1 address was olie's address over a year ago.  I haven't
made any changes to appweb.com for about the same period of time.

The only thought I had was I used a serial number in the format 9912010000.
When I moved I changed it to 2000010100.  I changed it last night to
99990051700.

Below the dig is a copy of appweb.com's setup.

TIA,
