<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI","sans-serif";color:black">I recently moved my two authoritative servers to new servers on new IP's. I did it slowly leaving the old servers up so that everyone
would have time to receive the new IP for my domain. When I query everything from google's free DNS servers to my own recursive servers I show the new IP's, which is what I expected. It has been a month since I moved to the new IP's, however I am still see
a ton of query's going to the old Auth servers. My authoritative servers do not have recursive turned on so all the traffic I am seeing is coming from other DNS servers and they are querying my domains for records. Did I miss something? Is that normal? Is
it safe to just turn the old servers off? <br>
<br>
Here are the queries I am seeing in the logs<br>
<br>
16-Sep-2015 09:00:16.807 client 78.140.179.9#22202 (ns2.mcomdc.com): query: ns2.mcomdc.com IN A -EDC (74.84.103.134)<br>
16-Sep-2015 09:00:16.882 client 63.79.12.161#20765 (ns1.mcomdc.com): query: ns1.mcomdc.com IN A -EDC (74.84.103.134)<br>
<br>
<br>
Here is the process I followed to move to the new IP's.<br>
<br>
I brought up my new servers with the new IP's. I changed the A record for ns1.mcomdc.com on all 4 of the servers (old and new) to the new IP address. I waited a few hours to confirm it all looks good, then made the change to ns2.mcomdc.com. I then left all
4 servers up for 72 hours and came back and confirmed every major free recursive DNS server had the new ns server IP's and any changes I made to the new server and not the old where propagating across the internet. I am not sure it matters here but I am running
BIND 9.10.2-P4<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
