IP migration issues with DNS

I've made IP additions and changes hundreds of times on Linux/Ensim servers.

For the life of me I cannot understand the problem here. somehow I've forgotten a step somewhere but I can't remember where.

My hosts file is correct in showing the IP listening to DNS queries, but it does not respond.

There are 3 things I had to do to add IPs to DNS and make sure the server is listening, and I can't remember either of the other two.

Can anyone help? What steps are taken to make sure the server responds?

man I feel like an idiot.
