[ale] Question about bind server behavior.

[JD]

There is always the TTL for the DNS record involved.  I go with 7 days most of
the time to allow caching, but if I know changes are coming, I'll drop it to 30
min the day before, then 5 min on the day of the changes.

Don't know if this helps you are not.
