Re: [cobalt-users] [RAQ2] Changing Site's IP

[Jeff Lasman <jblists@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can change your DNS's "time-to-live" to an hour or less.  But you have 
to do this well in advance of your DNS changes, because it's the ttl on the 
"old" record that determines when DNS will look at your new ones.

And many DNS servers (especially in caching servers and proxy servers) seem 
to ignore those settings anyway, using their own <frown>.
