Depends on the level of control you have over the servers and how the  
zones are set up... Looks to me like they are hosted on  
avalonglobal... Don't personally know how their name servers are set up.

Hopefully, 66.51.110.254 has a secondary zone file feeding off of  
64.141.17.199 which will update based on the ttl of the zone. If you  
have control over that secondary zone, tell the server to refresh that  
zone, otherwise it will occur automatically at SOME point. If you  
don't administer those servers, You'll have to contact them or wait...

If (God forbid) both servers have those zone files as primary zones,  
you'll have to make the changes to the second server like the first.
