• 20:41 @afuna the secret to fast DNS propagation is: do not try to visit your place ahead of time, as that caches old DNS. #
• 20:46 @afuna I got literally five-minute propagation for blog.azurelunatic.net by: not visiting, making change fully, waiting, then visiting. #
• 20:48 The 72-hours prop time is worst-case scenario, where cache has been made literally minutes before change, and the cache is everywhere. #

But if your ISP's name servers are properly configured, it won't help since they'll have it cached too.

The secret to fast DNS propagation is to set a low TTL. Since everything is moving around on my stuff, I've set everything to a tiny six minutes. Creates more DNS traffic for my server, but means much less downtime when moving stuff.

I've also long hoped that LJ would design a style or two with accessibility in mind.
