Search Again: Re: TTL From: Men & Mice Support Date: Wednesday, October 23, 2002 Time: 8:37:36 pm OK, let me restate in detail: - Change the A record's TTL to a lower value. Save. - Wait for the old TTL to expire. - Change the IP address of the machine. - Change the IP address listed in the A record. Also change the TTL back to the old value. Save. What I was trying to say before was that you could combine the two changes in the fourth step above, without saving in between. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice support@menandmice.com Making DNS Easy At 5:21 PM -0700 10/23/02, Ross Markbreiter wrote: >Sorry, I thought you said : >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 > >You do not want to change the TTL first? >Then in 1 day change the IP? > >>Correct.
