Antilag.com DNS TTL

[_S9_]

Is it just me, or is the Antilag.com DNS TTL set super-low.

Every few minutes while browsing the site it has to re-resolve the DNS record - which takes 3-5 seconds most times.

I see the TTL is set to 180 seconds only. Any reason for this?

I think we need to re route the sub station to have rear access to the mainframe

I don't manage the server anymore.

Have you tried turning it off and back on again?

Also - having the Nameserver records in the same domain as the actual site itself isn't the best either ;)

Haven't experienced any difficulties myself, and the service from Square Turtle to date has been excellent (they manage the site and server).

Will have a chat to them and see what they say but I haven't seen anything wrong with the site.

Just hangs and hangs. .. either have to refresh the page or it just... well does nothing.
Or when the drop down boxes appear and you click on a forum option it redirects to an advertising page.
