dns name swap

I've posted this in system administration (should have started here)

Hello all,

I had configured two nic cards on my HP 11 boxes. One for lan0 and the other lan2. Problem:
I have recently had to swap dns names for the address'. ex.

192.x.x.2 joshmo
192.x.x.5 joshmog
into:
192.x.x.2 joshmog
192.x.x.5 joshmo

On 3 of the five servers it worked great, changed the hosts file, rebooted, aknowledged the new name resolution.

On the other 2 they ping 'joshmo' and joshmog as 192.x.x.2. Is there something I'm just not thinking of?

I've tried route delete, route add, rebooting, comparing netstat -rn w/other 3 servers, arp -a shows the latest wrong ping (old address), dns appears identicle accross servers.
just do it!

Re: dns name swap

I saw this post on the other board, and you said nslookup was not showing that the records have been updated..Did you increase the serial number and restart named? look for punctuation in the zone files to.
