IP changes need DNS propagation?

[michaellunsford]

I moved a client's site from one IP address to another. Their ISP doesn't update their DNS but once every three days.

Now, when you type in their URL from that ISP, you get my default site instead of theirs.

The funny thing is, everything is on the same server. Can I do anything on my end, or do I need to wait for DNS to propagate to their ISP?

You need to wait for propagation. There's nothing you can do after you've already changed the IP address. You could have set the TTL less, although that's out of the question now.

You'll have to wait. Anytime you change an IP address it will take time to propagate, no matter if it's on the same server or not.

for future reference, how does one set the TTL?

It's in the DNS settings of the domain.
