Congratulations!

One thing I'm very curious to learn about is the effect of ISP caching 
of DNS lookups. The results from the new server have a 10 minute expiry; 
in the worst case, does that mean an ISP like Turkish Telecom could 
conceivably send all traffic for 10 minutes to a single IP?

What are these text records for?
pool.ntp.org.           600     IN      TXT     "217.160.252.91-100000"
