If the service provider is worried about load, they should increase
their TTL to reduce the frequency of queries. It's not your job to
second-guess them.
There are some servers that will avoid expiring records if the auth
servers stop responding, as a fail-safe mechanism. I think Google Public
DNS does this. So they obey TTL when deciding when to try to refresh the
cache, but will continue returning whatever they've cached if necessary.
