This was added just to convey the time frame, that is, "months or
years" rather than "every hour".  I'll change it to be a bit more
vague..

Oh! I try to get the text more specific!


What I mean is that if you introduce a new concept in the DNS
affecting the availability/existance of the RRs you should make
ita very precise feature. From what I gather the TTO would be the
delay before non called entry should be discarded. I think the
concept is great as it may really help managers tracing their
own mismanagement.

But :

1. I do not know where it is to be introduced because I do not
    see easily how it may survive a reload (we are talking of the
    master file management). This means an associated base
    keeping the date of the last use and called at loading time.

2. this would pemit a feature I want for a long in the DNS, which
    is temporary names for security/ebusiness purposes. If I set
    a TTO of 15 minutes and a TTL of 5 minutes on a Dynamic
    entry : the name will be valid for 20 minutes maximum on the
    network.
