So what we need is a tunable on the caching DNS server that says
min_allowed_ttl = 300;
if (ttl < min_allowed_ttl) ttl = min_allowed_ttl;
If the above becomes a problem, this will happen.
Mike.
Some larger providers allready do this on their caching servers. It's
rather annoying, actually. I don't see anything wrong with setting a
10s TTL if I size my bandwidth and server capacity accordingly.
