Today I changed the IP of a particular domain,
It will take 24 hours to 3 days for DNS
in which century was this? it propagates in 10 minutes to a couple of
hours
This is the best case scenario; you may have been lucky to see the
changes come through this fast.
My domain registrar (GoDaddy) says it *may* take 48-72 hours for the
changes to propagate worldwide. Changes are "pulled" by the various
DNS servers and some may not if the host is in it's cache.
A crippled workaround to this problem is:
1. define a new host name in your DNS server
2. force the "DNS" server to resolve this name i.e. host <new_host>
ip_of_dns_server
This will force the DNS server to query the SOA, realize the change in
serial etc and update it's cache.
As a rule of thumb fundamental changes to the domain entries should be
done over the weekend.
