Our first foray into DNS was using a DNS server that defaulted to 86400 for new entries.. Not being seasoned, we left this alone.. Unfortunately, I don't have any hard data from that dark time in our past.. Windows 2000 DNS seems to set the ttl to 3600, which is a tad on the low side, I think... At least for mostly-static domains, anyways. But I believe the reasoning there was that they depended heavily on dynamic dns.. > If one had to repeate the cache poisoning every 10 minutes I guess life > would be much harder than if you had to do it once every day?
