I've done this several times. Every time there were problems with email not
arriving for three to five days. But those were full DNS transitions (change
to different IP blocks). At the time, we weren't playing with the TTLs.
Most recently (and for a limited problem only, I was only transitioning
the primary MX), I was able to tweak TTLs and was able to transition
in one to two hours with no problems. I'm sure some DNS servers out
there were still caching outdated information, but this was a small site
with a relatively small set of external people sending email into it. they
just didn't receive enough traffic to trigger any bogosities.
My company will be doing a full DNS transition in the next few weeks.
We'll play with the TTLs then and monitor how it goes. If I remember,
I'll report to the list.
