Help with understanding which DNS records to update
Hi, I recently deployed a static site with Cloudflare's Wrangler CLI and transferred over the DNS management to Cloudflare. The current site loads properly from my
[domain].com and all of the subdomain links work as expected. However, when I navigate to www.[domain].com my old website that is hosted not on Cloudflare loads. I assume this is based on an A record pointing to the old site.
On Cloudflare, There are 4 A records with the names: *, mx, mx, and www pointing to 4 different domains starting with 66.**.***.*** . All 4 of those records have a Proxied status as well. I looked up those IP addresses to see if they belong to Cloudflare but it says they belong to "Newfold Digital", which is not my previous hosting provider, but maybe they bought up or are repurposing those IP addresses?
When I look up my domain through nslookup.io, it reports back 2 Cloudflare A records of 172.**.***.** and 104.**.**.* and 2 IPv6 addresses. Is there a better way I can understand what each of those addresses are serving, so I know which of those to add another A record to point to?
I wanted to get advice as to if theres a way I can verify the IP based on what I'm currently viewing when I navigate to both the old and new sites, so I can understand if I should remove the current A records, but also what IP address for Cloudflare that I should replace it with. Any help or guidance is appreciated. Thanks!1 replies
