As I suspect everyone reading this list already knows, once an existing AFS client decides on a VLDB server to talk to, it never redoes the DNS query and hence isn't going to honor TTLs on SRV records. I think we have two options: document this behavior, or specify something more fully correct that requires that the AFS client know the TTL (could be tricky in a lot of resolver stacks) or redo the query each time it wants to talk to the VLDB (which seems like a lot of DNS traffic). Documenting is certainly much easier for existing implementations.
