TTL

[Mike Jimenez]

Another Question I did not setup Bind on this server originally and my zone
files contain both of these statements within. Is this necessary to have
both? Which one is actually shorter and how do I know what "3600" means. Is
that hours or minutes?
$TTL 3600
259200  ; minimum TTL of 3 day

I have a "$ttl  1D" on all my zone files. one day default. In some cases,
when I am moving a server to another IP I shorten its TTL to 1 hour. -pat
