Sorry. I use fake name

host command can return right ip address

My question is

I am curious why the 2nd line is

171203020173.upstream.com instead of www.mydomain.com ?

It should be. right?

64 bytes from www.mydomain.com (171.203.20.173): icmp_seq=1 ttl=43 time=291 ms

Thank you

Something is severly broken on your side:

[angenenr@shutdown ~]$host www.mydomain.com www.mydomain.com is an alias for www.mydomain.com.akadns.net. www.mydomain.com.akadns.net has address 66.150.120.131 www.mydomain.com.akadns.net has address 216.34.94.184 [angenenr@shutdown ~]$

No, you didn't. www.mydomain.com does exist, so it cannot be fake.

I don't really like people who misuse existing domains for questions like this, as it really makes it harder to debug things.

My question is

Because you don't have a correct reverse DNS setting for your domain. But as you don't say what it is, I won't look further.

I don't quite follow this thread?

Are your pinging your web server, its is hosted with a hosting company (i.e. you don't personal host it on a server you manage?)

It could just be the details for their set up (i.e. multiple servers with load balancing across multiple IPs?)
