A mini faq to every network admin about zones changes

Changing something in a zone need a minimum of prepare to be as fast as
possible ...

Say current zone ttl is 7 days
First, before any changes to the zone, and minimum 7 days (old ttl) =
before
real changes, change only the ttl of the zone to a very temporary short
period (say 1 hour)
Wait a minimum of 'old ttl' days before doing any others dns to refresh =
they
cache
make your changes except the zone ttl
wait a minimum of 'temporary ttl' (i suggest 2 times the temp ttl) (to
'replicate' the 'real' changes)
then finaly reset the zone ttl to a normal value

final zone will be visible 'old ttl' + 'temp ttl' anywhere the world =
(except
for some strange proxies or dns or soft that not allway take in account =
the
zones ttls, or forced by some isp's admins to reduce dns traffic ... =
BAD
BOYS ...)
