IMO that is a little misguided. 60-second and higher TTL will be honored most of the time. And I don't really get what that ISP in Alaska was doing: DNS is about 0.1% of Internet traffic (according to some quick googling), so decreasing that will save you only a tiny tiny bit of bandwidth at disproportionate inconvenience for your customers.
- account42 4y agoNot sure about what kind of connection Alaska has but I imagine this is more about reducing latency for new connections than bandwidth.
