Mysterious Domain Forwarding

[Imago]

Three days ago I have registered a domain with Hostway, next day it got globally propagated, and about 8 hours ago the domain (sharing one IP - assigned to ns2 - with ten other sites) spontaneously started redirecting all queries to the site bearer of the IP of the ns1. A second, 404.shtml redirection brings the query to another site.

Here is what happens:

http://www.serversold.com

The redirection file is placed in the root of the ns1 IP associated site - vsdp.net, - and the final target is vdsp.net. There is no whatsoever redirection file placed in the root of the starting SS domain. In fact, it works here

http://www.serversold.com/~server/

The possible candidate causes of the issue are:
1. Different TTLs (86K and 172K)
2. All started immediately after a new httpd.conf was initiated (may be irrelevant).
3. Any other cause - please, suggest!

PS. Explaining cause 1:
In my server's DNS Zone TTL have been set to 86200, while in parent TTL's (of the registrar) were 172400. I have changed my TTL to comply with my parent nameservers.

Perhaps I should wait 48 hours for the changes to take effect...

Please, advise, if you have encountered the same issue.

Thanks

As far as I can tell, the site works, however I'm not sure about the whole "The redirection file is placed in the root of the ns1 IP associated site..."

Are you not DNSing this domain (properly) and instead redirecting it using a script? If so... why?

Thank you, the issue has been resolved. For some reason, two of my accounts have gone inactive with the last httpd.conf update, so any request for them was automatically redirected to the master account site, and from them redirected again to the front-door site with the help of a simple 404.shtml file in the root of the master account site.

I have found this info in the WHM list of active and inactive sites.
