I've seen this advice a few times and just to make it clear in my mind
I'm going to have to ask a dumb question.

If I set the TTL to 5 minutes, how long before making the changes that
I want to propogate should I do this?  Presumably if my TTL is currently
3 days I should do this 3 days before making any zone changes so that
I can be sure all machines are working of a record with a TTL of 5 minutes.
Is that correct?
