dns.nashbar.com has a Host Record in the NSI database showing the old IP
address. This IP address is being built into the COM zone file and
resolvers around the world are caching the wrong IP because of this.

(snip NSI discalimer)
[No name] (DNS6242-HST)

   Hostname: DNS.NASHBAR.COM
   Address: 12.4.177.8
   System: ? running ?


   Record last updated on 24-Sep-1997.
   Database last updated on 25-Apr-2001 00:24:00 EDT.


Do a host update or delete with NSI.
