Do you have proof of that yourself, or are you claiming it because you heard someone else say it? I've /never/ had problems with any of my domains with these servers. I understand (again, one of those rumor things, so sue me) that alien and terminator (sure, not the current resolvers that are pushed to Xtra customers, but they were current when I first heard this claim) run bind (8?). I'm not aware of any way to set a minimum or global explicit TTL in bind when it's doing the recursive thing. I'm not sure what TelstraClear run, but I'm guessing bind, too. Sounds like a beat-up-on-the-big-guys rumor if you ask me. On 28/10/2006, at 5:40 PM, Don Gould wrote:

So Don,
You're saying that Xtra and Telstra (and others) deliberately go out of their way to engineer their DNS servers to _ignore_ the TTL variable and instead make up their own?
Yes, I'm saying that some providers seem to override/ignore the ttl and do for a default value.
Cheers Don
