: DNS - domain conflict? I was given two domains: domain.com & domain.info (they are on GoDaddy). And I was also given two servers, 107.105.38.99 - Rails app and 107.107.90.17 - Wordpress

I was given two domains: domain.com & domain.info (they are on GoDaddy).

And I was also given two servers, 107.105.38.99 - Rails app and 107.107.90.17 - Wordpress platform, on Digital Ocean.

At first, I was instructed to associate domain.com with the 107.107.38.99 (Rails app). Then I was instructed to de-associate this IP with domain.com and associated the 107.107.90.17 with the domain name domain.com.

Then I was instructed to associated domain.info with the 107.107.38.99 (Rails app).

Right now, when I go to domain.com the WordPress platform (107.107.90.17) loads fine and that is what is expected. But when I go to domain.info for the Rails app (107.107.38.99) I get redirected to domain.com. This is not expected and this is really weird for me.

When I ping domain.info I get this:

PING domain.info (107.107.38.99): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 107.107.38.99: icmp_seq=0 ttl=50 time=74.601 ms

Which is the expected result showing the correct IP but I don't understand why I get redirected to domain.com...(which when I ping is:)

domain 64 bytes from 107.107.90.17: icmp_seq=0 ttl=50 time=75.057
ms

The PTR Records on Digital Ocean are as follows:

IP Address PTR Record
107.107.38.99 domain.info.
107.107.90.17 domain.com.

and the DNS configurations on Digital Ocean are:

domain.com

A: @ 107.107.90.17

CNAME: * @

domain.info

A: @ 107.107.38.99

CNAME: * @

I am not sure what the issue is, if you have any clue please let me know, I will be really grateful. If you need any other info let me know.
