All,

We have our company website hosted by a provider. They made changes to the
ip address of the site, which I updated on our external DNS hosting
provider. When i go to dnstuff.com and do a A record lookup of
www.mycompany.com it resolves to the correct IP. BUT, in my internal
network, for some reason, it keeps resolving to the older IP address. Not
sure what I need to do to refresh the DNS records.

Any ideas? Thanks?

Read inline please.

What is the TTL of the record?
DNSStuff does not cache those lookups, so the change is immediate, but it
does report the TTL of the record.
The old record is likely cached in your local DNS, or its forwarder, and
won't be updated until the remaining TTL has expired. I have seen many
public DNS hosting providers that use TTLs of up to two days.

Its based on TTL record , max it will take 2 to 3 days to update.
