What does the Time To Live (TTL) for a DNS record mean?

AT&T DPT Frequently Asked Questions
The TTL tells a DNS server how long it is allowed to cache a DNS record. Caching is a standard feature in the DNS. When one DNS server queries another DNS server for a record, it is allowed to store the answer in its local memory cache for the number of seconds specified by the TTL value. Only after the TTL has expired will the caching server repeat the query to get a fresh copy of the DNS record from the authoritative server.

What is time to live (TTL)?

MPVPN - FAQ, Citrix Thin Client Server, Data Security, VPN
DNS records are cached on the Internet DNS servers after the IP address is found. TTL is the amount of time that a DNS record for a host will remain in the cache of a DNS server after it has found the IP address of that host or server. The TTL on the Smart DNS server can be adjusted through the user interface.

Which values have to be chosen for the Time-To-Live (TTL)?

Knipp Medien und Kommunikation GmbH > Domains > Domain...
In order be able to make short-term changes, the TTLs should be adjusted rather short. 30 or 60 seconds seem to be appropriate values.

Should TTL (time to live) settings be used?

Proxy Cache FAQ
TTL settings allow you to control how long objects stay in your cache. They should be set according to object type to maximise the efficiency of your cache. Hypertext (.html) objects should have a low TTL while most others can be set higher. If you do not use TTL settings, pages may become outdated in the cache. Your customers will realise this and reload pages in order to ensure they have up-to-date data, defeating the purpose of having a cache.

What does WARNING: DNS record is older than 3 hours mean?

Clam AntiVirus
freshclam attempts to detect potential problems with DNS caches and switches to the old mode if something looks suspicious. If this message appears seldomly, you can safely ignore it. If you get the error everytime you run freshclam, check your system clock. If it is set correctly, check your dns settings. If those didn’t help, try putting this at the top of your cronjob: host -t txt current.cvd.clamav.

What does the 'TTL Bug' mean?

VisualRoute FAQ - integrated traceroute, ping, Whois, revers...
TTL stands for Time To Live. All IP packets have a TTL field and as IP packets get passed around the Internet, this TTL value is decreased, usually by one at every hop. If this field ever gets down to zero, the IP packet is discarded and does not reach its destination. What this means to you is that if you ever try to connect to a site on the Internet that is at a hop level greater than your TTL, your connection will fail.

What about DNS time to live?

StaticCling.org - FAQ
That's set to 5 minutes. If you don't know what DNS time to live is, you don't need to worry about it. It simply means that in the worst case scenario, it will will take about 6 minutes total to see changes or updates you make to your host. That's time to live (waiting for your local DNS caches to expire the record) plus waiting for our database regeneration script to do it's thing.

What is the subdomain's DNS TTL for?

MyDyn.de - DynDNS made easy
The DNS TTL specifies the number of seconds that a nameserver may cache a DNS entry before refreshing it from its forwarder (or ultimately, the originating) DNS server. The lower the TTL is, the prompter an IP address change will be visible world-wide. But because the entries are cached for a shorter time, more traffic will occur on our DNS server. The DNS TTL should be chosen depending on how often an IP address changes and how important it is to have that change visible within a short time.

What does DNS mean?

FAq - general matters
DNS is the acronym for Domain Name System, and it is a distributed database, based on a client/server model. A DNS manages the translation of a domain name into an IP number (the so-called name resolution), and vice versa that of an IP number into a domain name (the so-called inverse resolution).

What does DNS stand for and what does it mean?

Domainland.com - Domain Name Registration and Renewal Servic...
DNS stands for Domain Name System. The DNS is a record, located at the registry, that converts IP addresses from numbers into names, i.e. 123.456.789.0 to www.yourdomain.com.

What does it mean when I get a DNS error?

Frequently Asked Questions
DNS is an acronym that means Domain Name Server. A DNS is similar to directory assistance with the telephone company. You give the DNS a URL (i.e. words) and the DNS converts it to an Internet Protocol (IP) address (i.e. numbers). When you get an error, it can mean a number of different things. The site's server may be unavailable, the address may be typed incorrectly, or the connection may have timed out (server did not respond in a preset amount of time).

What are DNS servers? What does it have to do with my account?

RYDIA.NET
DNS stands for Domain Name System, or a large system which answers questions about DNS lookups. If you host a domain with rydia, whenever anyone in the world punches your domain name into their browser, the browser will need to figure out what IP address our server has. So it asks its local DNS server, which doesn't know, then asks the root DNS servers, which don't know, which then ask our DNS server, which tells them what it is.

How does the DOI System relate to DNS?

Frequently Asked Questions
The most common mechanism for resolution on the Internet is the Domain Name System (DNS): http as used in URL is a use of DNS. URLs are grouped by domain name and then by some hierarchical structure, originally based on file trees, now possibly unconnected from that but still a hierarchy. DOI names offer a more finely grained approach to naming where each name stands on its own, unconnected to any DNS or other hierarchy.

What does near-real-time vs. real-time mean?

California Geological Survey - Frequently Asked Questions
A real-time signal is continuously being sent and received, with little or no delay, much like a newscast or program on TV. Near-real-time is delayed slightly because a communication link is established to send the data once an event occurs, much as one makes phone call to someone in order to give them a message.
