Working for a content delivery network I can tell you that there
are many nameservers ignoring TTL that affect many users (AOL
being the largest american one). Coincidentally AOL users aren't
nearly so affected by that as they are that their data goes to
Virginia to enter the internet negating close-to-end-user
acceleration benefits.
Additionally there are several networks off of Singtel (Singapore/
Southern asia/oceania), Many in Australia (Likely due to Squid
caches to prevent egress), and in Europe (Mostly France) that I
have specifically ran into that had this disregard for TTL impact
them. In short, they are out there, and they will bite you from
time to time if your network is widely enough used.
Specifics? Off list is fine.
