Huh???

No-one ever said anything about changing the definition or use of the
TTL field in DNS replies.   If you get a TTL that says an address is
valid for a day, then you can keep using it for a day without checking
again.  Or you can check again every 5 minutes if you want to, but
the answers will just keep coming back from your local cache, each with
a TTL 5 minutes shorter than the previous time...
