[Elzey, Blaine A (Blaine)]

max-cache-ttl 300; should do it for cached RRs.

Subject: Force TTL on a Caching Name Server

Hi everyone,

I am not sure if this can be done, but I would like to set up a caching name server that only caches results for a maximum of 5 minutes. That is, I would like to override the result's TTL, refresh, retry etc to only 5 minutes. Effectively, the nameserver must do a fresh lookup every 5 minutes.

Is this achievable in bind? If so, what configuration should I use?

Thank you.
