Search Again: Re: TTL From: Men & Mice Support Date: Wednesday, October 23, 2002 Time: 2:27:27 pm No. Don't change the TTL of the SOA. Change the TTL of the record itself. In other words, don't touch any of the data at the top of the zone. Just change the TTL that's on the same line as the record, which is probably currently blank. If you can't see a TTL column, go to the Zone menu and make sure that "Show TTL" is checked. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice support@menandmice.com Making DNS Easy At 12:56 PM -0700 10/23/02, Ross Markbreiter wrote: >So the TTL SOA change to 300 instead of 86400 >Then after we change the ip of A record then keep it blank or put >back to 86400? >Is this correct. >Thanks again >Ross > >>The procedure is: >> >>- Change the A record's TTL to a lower value, such as 5 minutes. >>- Wait for the old TTL to expire - probably 1 day. >>- Change the IP address of the machine. >>- Change the IP address listed in the A record. >>- Reset the TTL to its former value (possibly a blank value, to use >>the zone's default TTL). >>____________________________________________________________________ >>Chris Buxton Men & Mice >>support@menandmice.com Making DNS Easy >> >>At 11:42 AM -0700 10/23/02, Ross Markbreiter wrote: >>>Hi Chris, >>>I need to switch a customers Ip in QDNS. >>>What is the lowest ttl to put it at? and after we switch should we >>>put it back? >>>Thanks Ross >>> >>>Director Sales >>>Ross Markbreiter >>>The World Wide Web Store, Inc >>>4351 Van Nuys Blvd. >>>Sherman Oaks, Ca 91403 >>> >>>( 818-905-6787 >>>=CA 818-905-6783 >>>http://www.worldwidewebstore.com >> > >Director Sales >Ross Markbreiter >The World Wide Web Store, Inc >4351 Van Nuys Blvd. >Sherman Oaks, Ca 91403 > >( 818-905-6787 >=CA 818-905-6783 >http://www.worldwidewebstore.com
