It is cool, but where is any value in this (I mean - 5 minutes) rapid updates for .com and other base domains? I wish rapid DNS when runningenterprise zone (with dynamic updates) or when running dynamic-dns service (for those who use dynalic IP's); but for .com and .net, it is just a public relation useless feature - registration time is 1 year, 5 minutes vs 1/2day - do not makes any difference.
It makes a big difference to people who sell web/mail/etc services to people that includes the domain name.
It means that someone who pays for a new website through an automated system doesn't have to wait 12-24 hours for it to be live, just a few minutes.
It also means that changes can be made to host records quickly which is important for people who don't plan well or have unexpected changes that they want propagated.
I'm appreciative of this change -- but fyi, they aren't the only TLD operators doing this, there are quite a few doing near-instant changes to their respective zones.
The only thing I would still want would be the ability to create multiple host records of the same name but with various values. At least the opposite, mutliple host names to the same value is now allowed. That's good enough for me. :)
