[PLUG] stale A record in the root server

["Michael Bevilacqua" <michael@bevilacqua.us>]

I'm setting up my authoritative name servers again. Last time I had them up was back in 2002. So I setup the A record a week or so ago to point to 72.94.17.3 only to find it pointing to my old server's IP from 2002. Here is what I'm seeing:


michael@midnight ~ $ whois clockbot.net | tail -n 3
      NS2.RACKSPACE.COM
      NS.RACKSPACE.COM


michael@midnight ~ $ host ns.clockbot.net
ns.clockbot.net has address 64.94.194.166


michael@midnight ~ $ dig @b.gtld-servers.net ns.clockbot.net +trace | tail -n 6

ns.clockbot.net.        172800  IN      A       64.94.194.166
clockbot.net.           172800  IN      NS      ns.rackspace.com.
clockbot.net.           172800  IN      NS      ns2.rackspace.com.
;; Received 129 bytes from 192.31.80.30#53(D.GTLD-SERVERS.net) in 76 ms


It should be (as set by the rackspace DNS):


michael@midnight ~ $ host 
ns.clockbot.net ns.rackspace.com | grep has
ns.clockbot.net has address 72.94.17.3


My question is, how do I go about getting that old record removed?
