where i would place that option "my users" are my servers (inbound MX, 
RBL's hence unbound there, but you would know that if you would have 
followed the thread)

another usecase are 5 seconds or so to mask problems of the zone-owner 
where all his slaves are victims of Cisco hardware and mangle CNAMEs in 
zone-transfers with a "$TLL 0" in front of them while the whole domain 
was intened to have a global 86400 seconds TTL

one needs me to show a single example where human users would have a 
non-theoretical differnece between 2 and 5 seconds..

but you would also know that if you have followed the thread
