i’m in need of desperate help… i really don’t know too much about dns, but here it goes…

i am running 10.3.3 server for mail, ftp, web, dhcp, nat and afp. i use dyndns.org for dns and mail mx records. i have 3 domain names,
which i have web sites and mail going to. well, today my ip address changed after 2 years of having the same one… this caused major problems.
i first noticed when i went to one of my domains charles-x.com and i saw someone elses apache server directory (my server cname is mail.charles.com), i then noticed the ip address change. this is bad because my mail server stop working and so did charles-x.com, but the other 2 domains web sites worked.

it seems after a couple of hours charles-x.com pointed to my new ip address and i thought all was fine. now i can only receive me locally and not from the outside. i contacted dyndns and cannot receive email, so there for i am screwed. is this worse than i am making it out to be? 🙂
do i just need to wait to dyndns updates there records of the change? when i check my mx records using dig, i get this:

; <<>> DiG 9.2.2 <<>> mail.charles-x.com mx

i believe you will be okay in 24 hours.
some servers are still using there cache and that’s why it is not resolving properly.
