I'm not that surprised - there's definitely not a linear correlation
between the TTL of an RRset and how frequently it's queried.

Unless your TTL is very short, forced expulsion from cache (due to
cache-size limits) would cause many clients to re-query for a record far
more frequently than once-per-TTL.
