I like the idea. A fews ago we needed to write a local cache for our total system framework to create a single source API query for all of our apps within the framework using DNS. The cache database was prepared with a query frequency field (QFF) with the idea in the future to come up with come correlation where an TTL override can be used.

In other words, if the QFF is low, then we just follow the TTL time to requery an expired recording. If the QFF was high, then this is where a "HAMMER" time idea would kick in.

I would venture that the efficiency or payoff of a HAMMER time is lower when the TTL is high. So its payoff comes into play when there are low TTL values.

So possibly, what the HAMMER draft can include is a set of boundary conditions or TTL range for when the HAMMER time is applicable. I think a formula can be created.

   the most popular records in the DNS cache.



No man is an island, But if you take a bunch of dead guys and tie them 
together, they make a pretty good raft.
