Hrmph. Flicked the switch on our new website last night. Woke up this morning to the new site being up and running, which came as a bit of a pleasant surprise. Just checked it again and what do I see - the old site.
At least the new mail servers appear to be working.

Depends on who your registrar is and how close they are to an authoritative DNS. It could take as much as a day or two in some cases. The better registrars are close to authoritative servers, and they update frequently.

24-48 hours. Mine from last week took about 28 hours.

My domains are all registered with my ISP, so most DNS changes go into effect (for me, at least) almost instantly.

Right, that would only be for you. For everyone else it'll still take 24-48 hours to see it.

Isn't that what I said? It depends on who updates the DNS database, and where they are in the hierarchy. Note that anyone using the same DNS that your registrar does will see the update as soon as it's input, but it takes time to propagate from "branch" DNSs to authoritative DNS.

If you still are getting misdirected, I may have a solution for you. OS X's DNS cache can be a real nuisance at times. My G5 and my iBook were running the same version of Panther and were at the system software level essentially identical, yet a particular domain was resolving to its new IP only on my iBook and not on my G5. I waited for a couple of days without any satisfaction. I looked through the Networking Forum and found solutions that suggested I flush the lookupd cache and, failing that, even kill it. None of that worked, however. What did work? The "dig" DNS utility. And it fixed the issue instantly. The usage of the utility is pretty self-explanatory once you look at the manual page, so open Terminal and type man dig for more information.
