Deleted Domain still resolves

[randym]

Hello All:

Recently, I have deleted a domain from my server. The odd part about this is that the domain still resolves to the IP that it was previously on. There is no DNS information anywhere on the server (within Direct Admin)that would allow this to happen.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thank you.

Are you sure the domain is actually on your dns servers? Dns servers worldwide will hold a cache for 48-72hrs. What dns server are you doing dns lookups against?

Do the following command and see if the dns servers are actually your server.

dig @8.8.8.8 domain.com ns +short

If they are your server then dig against your server to see if its resolving.
