Whose DNS?  I evern run a local caching DNS to make things go
faster, and unless someone has stupidly set the time to live to
some ridiculously low level the IPs should remain in the DNS above
you, if you aren't running a local cacheing DNS.

And in regards to "the *second* time they changed how it worked" -
who is they?  UPS.   And what was it they changed.  I'm just not
following this.
