When an ISP's caching name servers ignore your 3600 TTL and substitute an 86400 TTL you end up disconnected for ~12 hours instead of ~30 minutes-
You write "when" rather than "if" - is ignoring reasonable TTLs current practice? (Ignoring routing updates for small routes used to be common practice, at least if they happen frequently enough.)
That's unacceptable for a almost any company willing to go through the trouble of getting an ASN.
Ignoring reasonable TTLs is rude and should be unacceptable for the hypothetical ISP's customers, so I assume this problem will get fixed by normal commercial pressure. Red herring? -- Simon.
