Domain keeps switching between two I.P. addresses

I have a domain, "rockpebble.com" that seems to be switching back and forth between 96.126.118.187 and 173.230.129.245.

The correct I.P. is 173.230.129.245.

96.126.118.187 happens to be one that belonged to a Linode I deleted about a week or so ago.

I posted about this previously and I thought the problem was had gone away, but the domain is resolving to the wrong I.P. again now.

Here's my DNS config…

I'm getting the correct IP back from all the nameservers. How are you testing this?

I'm using dig a rockpebble.com @ns1.linode.com (up to ns5) - all of them report the correct IP.

Just a guess (based on past experience :o ) … did you create an entry in your local machine's hosts file, and forget to remove it?

OMG IT IS IN MY HOSTS FILE!!!

Arrrrgh!!!

I'm never touching that file again.

Sorry, everyone :(

Hi All,

Me too have facing this same issue, I did not have any host file entry at all so i did the below mentioned steps to fix the issue but no luck.
Steps Taken:

ipconfig/flushdns
ipconfig/release
ipconfig/renew
Disable and Enable the network adapter

Final i did the Restart the Machine. Its starts working!!!

I kindly ask linode team and community members to help us to find the root cause of this issue and provide the solution to fix this issue

I think it might be best if you were to create a new Community Question, as this is a 7 year old forum post.

Based on the info provided, I'm unsure whether you're still experiencing an issue. You mentioned:

but also:

Without information such as the Domain having an issue, we can only guess as to what might be the issue.
