domain dns question
We have two domain controllers and we have our domain as domain.company.com when we ping this name it returns the ip address of a certain dc we want it to return the other dc where is this kept I looked in dns and could not find it

Are you talking about a publicly accessible domain? Accessible from the internet? Changing the IP of a public domain will require modifications to your providers DNS.
ping the name of the other dc:
nameofdc.company.com
or
nameofdc.domain.company.co
It depends of youd active directory domain name.
This can be done only inside of your network.
To ping from external, as said jss, you have to change the dns of your provider.
nameofdc.company.com
or
nameofdc.domain.company.co

What exactly are you trying to achieve?

How do you change this,
Change the priority of the SRV records within DNS.

If you look in DNS you will see your zone company.com
In there you will see a record that says same as parent folder.
That probably has the IP of the other server you dont want.
Create a new record - leave its name blank and then add the right IP
