When you change your DNS you need to flush again.

It WILL pan itself out, eqemulator had DNS issue a long time ago whenever records were changed. There is a more graceful way to change DNS records but it had not been done this way unfortunately.

Whenever a DNS record is distributed to all the root DNS servers in the world, it has a specific time to live set by the owner of the domain, this needs time to die and propogate. For those not completely understanding of what DNS is, it is name to IP address translation that happens within milliseconds of trying to use domain names in browsers or other applications.

Example DNS101:

Code:
    moestaverne.com
    ----------------------------------------
    Record Name . . . . . : moestaverne.com
    Record Type . . . . . : 1
    Time To Live  . . . . : 21616
    Data Length . . . . . : 4
    Section . . . . . . . : Answer
    A (Host) Record . . . : 88.198.230.177
Here is my launcher working since I am pointing to the new address:



I know that setting your primary DNS to 64.90.65.2 should resolve to the new server as it is working for me. Otherwise you may be stuck waiting for a while, or bypassing the launcher for now.
