If the admins on that network configured a five-minute TTL, it's because they *want* the clients to cache the records for five minutes. They can set the TTL to zero if they want the servers to be queried for every single lookup. And if they're migrating a system they will know this more than five minutes in advance, so they can set a zero TTL temporarily. -- Björn Persson
