What about 2 minutes during the first hour after a change, 30 minutes during 2 days, 3 hrs after that?

- squiggleblaz 6y agoI think the point is that I don't want to change my TTLs. If I had my druthers, yeah, they'd go up periodically, and then if tech support receives an issue that sounds like it might require DNS changes, they press a button and the TTL drops. Once that issue is closed, it goes back to gradually increasing.
- toast0 6y agoThis would be fine for some uses. It's not great for client facing names where you want to be able to react to an incident and have traffic move over quickly. If it's going to take more than 3 hours to setup the new traffic target anyway, sure. You have time to fiddle with TTLs. If you have servers ready to go elsewhere, 1-5 minute TTLs are nice so you can quickly move things when you notice a problem.
