site redirecting to google.com after dns nameserver change

We are not sure if this is a local or a global problem. We're being redirected to google.com. Back-end pages are giving google's broken robot 404 page. Everything seems fine when I look "out there":

We do have MX records for google mail handling. Could this be the problem? Is this something happening on the local machine (mac book) while it is confused about the switch? The DNS namechange is still propagating (we made the change approx. 12 hrs ago).

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hmm, your domain seems to be fine here? No redirections to google at all..

Seems to be some local problem, page loads fine from here.

(Also, the address it resolves to "50.116.11.90" is decidedly not a Google owned address but a Linode owned one.)

Is your dig output above from a machine where it does not work? (That would be the more interesting thing.)
