bind8, TTL-Message

[Barry Margolin]

Argh!  How can we stop people from asking this same question EVERY SINGLE
DAY?  This is not a write-only newsgroup, you should read it first.
Someone asked this same question yesterday, and I told him to read the
answer that was posted when someone asked the question a day or two before
that.

But I'll take pity on you and answer it again.

In BIND 8.2 the default TTL is set with a line that looks like:

$TTL 2D

Since you don't have such a line, it's reverting to the old behavior and
using the Minimum field from the SOA record, just like the message says.

This is on the www.isc.org web site, on the Configuration File Hints page.
