http://www.msexchange.org -------------------------------------------------------No - you can't modify TTL for individual records. Since the only time this needs to be modified is during failover or failback, it's a simple matter to clear the local machine DNS cache (as you've done). General policy: don't make system-level changes for one-off situations. -----Original Message----- From: exchangelist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:exchangelist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Manjeet Singh Sent: Wednesday, June 21, 2006 12:19 AM To: exchangelist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ExchangeList] Can we change the TTL from one hour to say 10 minutes. Hi, I am having Exchange 2003 FE/BE setup. And in my testing I found that FE talk to BE using DNS. Now I am changing my backend server IP and also update it in DNS records. I did flushdns on FE and its successfully talking to BE on new IP. I found the default TTL is one hour. Can I manipulate TTL entry for Exchange record to say 10 minutes? I am doing this some my DR testing.
