Dynamic DNS updating OK, but ping receives another IP

Hi everyone,
I have a domain managed by ZoneEdit (mundodisco.com.ar), with its A pointer with the IP provided by my web hosting, and a DYN entry with dyndns.mundodisco.com.ar which is updated by my home router (so, it shows my personal IP at home). ZoneEdit is receiving the IP updates fine, and it can be seen at ZoneEdit control panel. However, if I ping dyndns.mundodisco.com.ar, the command contacts an IP which is neither my home IP nor the website page (the IP of my web hosting provider). Why and how is that possible?
Thanks in advance for your help!
 
hi there it could be some dns caching on the nameservers you use to connect to the Internet, or a Hosts file not working properly that should be deleted.
it does look good at present:
dig @dns1.zoneedit.com dyndns.mundodisco.com.ar

; <<>> DiG 9.10.6 <<>> @dns1.zoneedit.com dyndns.mundodisco.com.ar
