You might consider the following paper from IMC 2003: "On the Responsiveness of DNS-based Network Control" by Jeffrey Pang, Aditya Akella, Anees Shaikh, Balachander Krishnamurthy, Srinivasan Seshan, http://www.imconf.net/imc-2004/papers/p21-pang.pdf It sheds some light on how widely DNS TTLs are adhered to. The CDF graphs on the 4th page suggest that you should be fairly safe after a day, though I don't see if the paper specifically states what the largest recorded violation was. Sharad.
