Interestingly enough, I get the correct A record when I queried the 3-rivers
name servers:

Query: www.sigmatx.com. Query type: A record
Recursive query: Yes Authoritative answer: Yes
Query time: 153 ms. Server name: ns1.3-rivers.com

Answer:
www.sigmatx.com. 86400 A 63.95.200.10

Authority:
sigmatx.com. 86400 NS ns2.3-rivers.com.
sigmatx.com. 86400 NS ns1.3-rivers.com.

Additional:
ns2.3-rivers.com. 86400 A 63.95.200.3
ns1.3-rivers.com. 86400 A 63.95.200.2

Query: www.sigmatx.com. Query type: A record
Recursive query: Yes Authoritative answer: Yes
Query time: 154 ms. Server name: ns2.3-rivers.com

Answer:
www.sigmatx.com. 86400 A 63.95.200.10

Authority:
sigmatx.com. 86400 NS ns2.3-rivers.com.
sigmatx.com. 86400 NS ns1.3-rivers.com.

Additional:
ns2.3-rivers.com. 86400 A 63.95.200.3
ns1.3-rivers.com. 86400 A 63.95.200.2

But! When I query without a name server, DNS Expert returns:

Query: www.sigmatx.com. Query type: A record
Recursive query: Yes Authoritative answer: No
Query time: 265 ms. Server name: n/a

Answer:
www.sigmatx.com. 172800 A 207.109.185.125

Authority:
sigmatx.com. 172800 NS ns1.3-rivers.com.
sigmatx.com. 172800 NS ns2.3-rivers.com.

Additional:
ns1.3-rivers.com. 172800 A 63.95.200.2
ns2.3-rivers.com. 172800 A 63.95.200.3

I don't know how to find out what name server is returning the bogus A
record, however. :-(

Does the previous ISP still have DNS records for this domain?

Jeff
