For what it's worth, the "TTLs are inviolable" ship sailed long ago.

TTL is the longest you can keep something. keeping it for less time than
that is not just allowed, it's expected, either due to cache
replacement, or restart, or local policy. that's not "monkeying" in the
way i think you mean it.<br>
<br>
on the other hand the min-cache-ttl which BIND also had (in BIND8) was
"monkeying" since it placed a hard five minute floor on how long
information could be held. i regretted this and BIND9 does not have it.<br>

my web browser (chrome, at the moment) does not keep information longer
than my authority TTL's, but i admit that i am not a CDN and none of my
TTL's are less than 30 seconds. it may be that if you want five seconds
you can't get it, but i wouldn't be seeing that here.<br>

Great article. Thanks for writing it.

i'd love to see you write the next chapter of that story, giving the CDN
perspective.<br>
