Troubleshooting

DNS propagation and TTL

Why DNS changes lag, how TTL affects rollout, and how to verify TXT records globally.

TTL basics

Time-to-live defines how long resolvers cache answers. Lower TTL before large migrations if your DNS provider allows controlled updates.

Checking globally

Use resolver tools that query authoritative servers and public caches—single-machine dig results can be misleading during propagation.

Patience

Major receivers may cache longer than your nominal TTL during incidents—plan overlapping validation windows.
