I need to move to a new server. All the current users/resellers of one server are moving to the new one, and all the users/resellers are owned by the admin and I want to keep the same structure.

I thought I could just back them up from the old to the new. I did that and it looks like the ftp worked fine. I also restored all users but the admin (the admin account had a bunch of files and settings I didn't want anymore). That also seems to have worked fine. All users are where I want them, the reseller account looked fine. All the IP's were listed as the corrent ones. I couldn't find anything wrong.

The TTL is set to 100 seconds (at least it seems to be when I look in the *.db files -- I don't know to verify this is working). I then shut down thee old server and waited for about 1 hour for the TTL to expire and have the DNS refresh to the new server. No luck.

How do I get the DNS to get the new info from my new server? I brought the old server back up so I can do this later once I know what is happening.

Thanks
 
Is the new server on a new IP#? If so, did you create the new nameservers at your domain registrar?

For example, if your nameserver is at ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com, you have to create (or recreate, or just change the IP#s for the) nameservers for ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com at the registrar where you registered example.com.
