While I have your attention, <evil grin>, that TTL of 86400 means that any
site should check the DNS after one day for an update? If so, and that is
the TTL that was set on all my domains, which is why I can't understand why
@Home's DNS servers were caching the info for 5 days when the root
nameservers had the update already.
The strange thing is, when I sent through a slew of changes, 20 domains
would update properly after one day, 1 out of them wouldn't. @Home's tech
support was baffled while on the phone. Of course by the time they replied
to my email, 5 days later, the DNS had finally updated.
