It's not just the local. 8.8.8.8 is caching the old entry still. Check the authoritative resolvers.
Point of order: No "resolvers" are "authoritative". "Resolvers" (or, more fully, "Customer resolver servers") are servers operated (generally) by "eyeball carriers" for their end-users to utilize to do DNS lookups, so that the end users are not required to operate a resolver themselves -- which most enduser operating systems have not, historically done. Resolvers do the recursing for you, and return a non-authoritative response. Putting this at the ISP level leverages caching (though sometimes pathologically). Many edge routers perform this task, though not all. "Authoritative" is a term used to describe a "Zone" server; one which has a current local or slaved copy of the actual source data for a zone. Queries directly to a zone server will have the authoritative bit set. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
