Certainly. I was talking about specifying TTL values.

Actually, it's not the $TTL directive that is mandated; it is
specifying a TTL for each and every RR. $TTL is just a convinient way
to accomplish that when most or all records have a standard TTL.

Speaking of which I could probably increase most of mine to two days
and do my part to cut down the load on the Internet backbones ;-)
