Search Again: SOA Refresh From: Kenneth Kirksey Date: Thursday, August 7, 2003 Time: 12:28:11 pm I ran one of our domains through DNS report and got the following warning: > WARNING: Your SOA REFRESH interval is : 28800 seconds . This seems > a bit high. You should consider decreasing this value to about > 3600-7200 seconds. RFC1912 2.2 recommends a value between 1200 to > 43200 seconds (20 minutes to 12 hours; 12 hours seems very high to > us), although some registrars may limit you to 10000 seconds or > higher, and if you are using DNS NOTIFY the refresh value is not as > important (RIPE recommend 86400 seconds if using DNS NOTIFY). This > value determines how often secondary/slave nameservers check with the > master for updates. A value that is too high will cause DNS changes > to be in limbo for a long time. I looked in the QuickDNS manual, but I didn't see anything about DNS NOTIFY. Is this something I need to fix? (And what is DNS NOTIFY, BTW?) Thanks!
