Different domains are pointing to same IP address

Linode Staff

I noticed some of my domains were pointing to the same IP address but this isn't correct. I have 'A' records setup correctly in DNS Manager.

I've seen this occur when customers are using our DNS Manager as well as hosting their DNS records with their registrar. You can check this using the following two syntax:

dig +short your_domain_name ns @ns1.linode.com
dig +short your_domain_name ns @8.8.4.4

I also suggest checking your /etc/hosts file to verify if their is an entry for your domain(s) in this file.

less /etc/hosts
