Sure, but this adds undue load on my nameserver, and those of my customers for zones which I know will *never* change. A DNS lookup may only take you a few milliseconds, but when you're running on a CDPD modem, 19.2K/s with 2-4 SECOND latency (typical while roaming off-network), having to wait an extra 15 seconds for a DNS lookup every 5 minutes is a pain. On the other hand, when I'm planning an IP change of some sort which cannot have redundancy on two IPs, I usually set my TTL to 60 seconds, that way users experience almost no downtime (a maximum of 60 seconds, so in reality, an average of 30 seconds or less) -- Dave Warren, Email Address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cell: (403) 371-3470 Fax: (403) 371-3471 Toll free: (888) 371-3470 Vonage: (817) 886-0860 ICQ: 17848192 AIM: devilspgd Yahoo!: devilspgd MSN/PASSPORT: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
