I'm hoping someone can clue me in on the issues involving delegation inconsistency of TTLs. Here is an example zone as seen from the TLD:
;; ANSWER SECTION: king.com. 172800 IN NS ns.fjordnetwork.com. king.com. 172800 IN NS ns.midasplayer.com. then each authoritative server shows the following: ;; ANSWER SECTION: king.com. 300 IN NS ns.fjordnetwork.com. king.com. 300 IN NS ns.midasplayer.com. ;; ADDITIONAL SECTION: ns.fjordnetwork.com. 3600 IN A 62.80.210.14 ns.midasplayer.com. 300 IN A 217.212.244.66 First, the NS RRset has differing TTL values at the parent and child. Strictly speaking I thought this was a configuration error. Is it? If so, what are the potential issues in such a TTL mismatch that may cause problems with this zone? Second, strictly speaking I thought the TTL mismatch for the TTLs in A records as shown in the additional section is not a configuration error. Is that the case? What if any issues might result from that configuration?
