Sometimes, the DNS admins are not informed of the change (especially the
case with IEDR and .ie). Basically you have to find the DNS admins in
Eircom and ask them to remove the zonefile/secondary entry in the
Indigo/Eircom DNS. Indigo is in the process of being borged at the
moment and almost all Indigo hosted domains are being transferred to
Eircom's own DNSes.

The old data problem is actually a lot commoner than you would think.
