And I say that, because some very popular RRs have insanely low TTLs. Case in point: www.l.google.com. 300 IN A 74.125.227.148 www.l.google.com. 300 IN A 74.125.227.144 www.l.google.com. 300 IN A 74.125.227.146 www.l.google.com. 300 IN A 74.125.227.145 www.l.google.com. 300 IN A 74.125.227.147 www.l.google.com. 300 IN A 74.125.227.148
Different people have different points of view. IMHO, if Google losses a datacenter and all users are stuck waiting for a long TTL to run out, that is Very Bad. In fact, I would call even 2.5 minutes (average of 5 min TTL) Very Bad. I'm impressed they are comfortable with a 300 second TTL. You obviously feel differently. Feel free to set your TTL higher. -- TTFN, patrick
