asked on

www A record changed

Hi,
I have changed the www A record for a domain, but need to go back to the original address it was set as.
I don't have a backup of it and obviously can't remember it either.
Are there any sites that cache records?
I need to be able to view yesterday's records.

Thanks

i can see it cached on Google, but can't subtract the ip address from it.
Any ideas on how to do that?
What do you mean subtract?
Records are stored for the value of the TTL. If the TTL is less than 1 day you're a bit out of luck I'm afraid, it'll be gone.

Storing historic DNS data for the sheer hell of it would be extremely expensive if it were done on any reasonable scale. I suggest you consider other ways of finding this information.

I guess you do not have access to whatever web-server (I assume) runs the site? Or the company that host it (if it's not you)?
