[AusNOG] Am I being unreasonable.... MelbourneIT

[Joseph Goldman]

Yikes thats harsh.

See if you can set your TTL's down real low for the important records 
(A, MX etc) wait a day or 2 then do it - at least hopefully then the 
world is aware of low TTL and the time from them removing from their 
NS's to servers checking your new ones should be quick.
