[gundamz]

Hi all,

I tried play with the dns zone template.
i set refresh from 14400 to 3600

And i try add a new zone.

all the created row are still 14400 and not 3600.

can someone guide me?
Thanks.

Are you talking about this Refresh here:

; cPanel %cpversion%
; Zone file for %domain%
$TTL %ttl%
@ IN SOA %nameserver%. %rpemail%. (
%serial% ; serial, todays date+todays
7200 ; refresh, seconds <----------------- This one?
7200 ; retry, seconds
3600000 ; expire, seconds
86400 ) ; minimum, seconds

This must be changed in the standard template.

If you are talking about the ttl farther down for ftp, mail, and www, you can not set that in the template, unless you edit the template from root in httpd

Hi oulzac,

yep

because, i want to set a lower TTL for newly created zone.
so, i am planning to edit the template for this.

I am planning to do this for server failover.

Will set refresh value accomplish for this?

You can change templetes from WHM>>DNS functions >> Edit Zone Templetes >> standard

To change TTL from 14400 to 3600 change the lines from

%domain%. IN MX 0 %domain%. to %domain%. 3600 IN MX 0 %domain%. repeat the procedure for other entries...
