A question regarding TTL. If changing the TTL value of a record will speed up (for want of a better word) when that record is available to the DNS server, why would you ever set the TTL to 3600 or more? I understand that there is some kind of caching going on but I don't actually fully understand TTL and what is ideal.
Any advice/insights/explanations appreciated!
