FYI, this isn't going to speed things up. The problem when making a change to DNS is
that other DNS servers have cached entries. If you had a TTL of 24 hours, then every
DNS server out there that has used your domain in the past 24 hours will have a cached
entry; changing the TTL to 1 hour isn't going to help. They aren't going to contact
you until the TTL has expired.
What works well (for future reference) when making a DNS change is to moving the TTL
down (say from 1 day to 1 hour) 1 day in advance of making the change, then make the
change, and move the TTL back up. That way, the DNS servers with cached entries will
get the 1 hour TTL and keep checking back every hour for changes. When you make the
change, it will propagate within an hour.
