OK, I've reviewed the documentation, and this is what I found:

- "Default TTL" shouldn't need to be modified if I set all A records
in all zones to have a specific TTL in their records, correct?

- Is there any way to force a slave server to refresh to the master
server? If so, then I don't see the need to change the Refresh,
Retry and Expire settings on the zone records, which is good because
it's one less thing to have to write an Applescript for (and I don't
have one already).

- "TTL of SOA" - should this be set to a small value as well? Or do
the TTLs of the individual A records override it? If it needs to be
set, can you provide an example Applescript to do such?

Thanks!!

- John
