Search Again: TTl vs Expire? From: Sam Lewis Date: Thursday, June 15, 2000 Time: 10:35:47 am Hello, I'm getting ready to change subnets again. In the past a week out I would change the TTLs on all my domains to 24 hours. Then the day before the change I would change the TTLs to 1 hour. Make the change with Internic, wait for confirmation, switch IPs at 10pm eastern and pray they got it right. Then after everything is working I would up my TTLs back to normal levels. So I was getting ready to change all of my TTLs to 24 hours in preparation for our move next week when I noticed that they were already at 24 hours. Is this causing a performance hit on my data? What should a normal TTL be? I also noticed that the Expires is set at 302400 which is 84 hours. Not sure where this number came from or if it was the default. But my question is what is the difference between Expires and TTL? Should the Expires be set low also to prepare for this switch over? thanks, -- Sam Lewis, V.P.
