Domain Name Server Fight is Back!

This is the second time I’m facing a horrible situation in 12 years of my active Internet adventure. One or a few DNSes ignore my change requests and keep pointing to the old IP although two weeks has passed after my edits. Those rebel servers cause the half of the routers to use the old IP address and keep my old end-point alive recursively. I’m not sure if it’s a TTL issue with an A RECORD or an hacking attempt via DNS injection. Don’t know the answer yet, because I’m not able to access every name server (naturally) although I can traverse my path and know the evil ones.

Does anybody have a clue what is happening behind? Because straight forward actions like switching to my own name servers may not help me with the issue at this moment. The new changes might come to a deadlock on same cycle. Is there anybody out there who knows what’s happening?
