If you go to the raq4r gui
control panel
dns parameters
select the domain in question
the first item should be SOA Configuration
click on the edit icon
it then gives you
refresh interval
retry interval
expire interval
time to live (ttl)

you may need to change these to smaller numbers than the default
on one site i just looked at I have
10800
3600
604800
86400

3600 = 1 hr
10800 = 3 hrs
86400 = 24 hrs
604800 = 1 wk

if you have 604800 anywhere, it could mean a week before other servers 
request a new update,  it is normally best to make these numbers smaller a 
week or two in advance of a move and then a week or so after put them back 
again
