I'm sure my learned NZNOG colleagues can explain to me why nameservers won't honour certain TTL's?

Seems to make a bit of a mockery of the whole ability to set them, really...

Because the clueless get in on it. "Why don't you set it to 1 so we can update whenever?".

OK then. What nameserver daemon behaves like this?

various versions of IE cache either for 30 minutes or an hour irrespective of the times they get back from the resolver. see http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=263558 I believe gecko based browsers are guilty of this too (although to a lesser extent -- 10 minutes iirc).
