Barry - looks like you might have cracked it there. Appreciate the link
to iptools.com, I was using an account on dnsstuff.com but they seem to
have removed the A record lookup from the free account I have. Other
online lookups I tried only returned the 64.62.162.95 IP. Didn't
realise you could specify which nameserver to use with a DOS lookup in
Windows.
Will contact the server host and get them to remove the stray entry as
it doesn't appear in my control panel.
Thanks,
Chris

Hello Chris

I'm not sure why user location is a problem, but your ns2.helmdns.com
nameserver is returning two IP addresses for plant.neogeneurope.com, the
correct 64 and the incorrect 72 address. The ns1.helmdns.com nameserver
is
providing just the correct IP.
On a windows machine I did:
nslookup plant.neogeneurope.com ns2.helmdns.com
and got this:
Server: ms1.pronameserver.com
Address: 64.62.162.95
Name: plant.neogeneurope.com
Addresses: 64.62.155.55, 72.52.165.137
You might also find the iptools.com website useful, it has saved me many
many times!
