Hi Rudolfo,

Don't know if this will make you feel better or worse.. When I've migrated domains in the past, I've seen some DNS information not updated for nearly a month.. (or once.. more)

Also don't know if you can do this (did not read the entire string of messages on this subject) but what I've done in the past is leave the old sites live at the old location and dupe them to the new one... Only had one of those sites that was updated very often but just updated both servers until I thought it had propogeted througout most of the world... oddly enough (suppose not in a linux community) Microsoft's internet access system was one of the slowest to update their records.... 

Some little local providers were bad also. A full month after moving the site and a week after finally figuring it was time enough.. My cartoonist could not see his new work up on the site...(small local provider in... you guessed it.. Seattle:) 

I probably just made you feel worse... sorry.. I seem to be good at that <g>
