NameSurfer 7.6.4.1


Every resource record has an associated time-to-live value or TTL, which determines how long the data should be considered valid. A caching name server may only cache the record for the length of time given by the TTL.

Typical TTL values are on the order of a few days. Many name servers enforce a minimum TTL of five minutes. The default TTL value for new records is taken from the SOA MINIMUM field.
