The units used are seconds. An older common TTL value for DNS was 86400 seconds, which is 24 hours. A TTL value of 86400 would mean that, if a DNS record was changed on the authoritative nameserver, DNS servers around the world could still be showing the old value from their cache for up to 24 hours after the last update by client.
This list of DNS record types is an overview of resource records (RRs) permissible in zone files of the Domain Name System (DNS). It also contains pseudo-RRs.
ttl: standard DNS time to live field. IN: standard DNS class field (this is always IN). SRV: Type of Record (this is always SRV). priority: the priority of the target host, lower value means more preferred. weight: A relative weight for records with the same priority, higher value means higher chance of getting picked.
A TXT record (short for text record) is a type of resource record in the Domain Name System (DNS) used to provide the ability to associate arbitrary text with a host or other name, such as human readable information about a server, network, data center, or other accounting information.
The format of a zone file is defined in RFC 1035 (section 5) and RFC 1034 (section 3.6.1). This format was originally used by the Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) software package, but has been widely adopted by other DNS server software – though some of them (e.g. NSD, PowerDNS) are using the zone files only as a starting point to compile them into database format, see also Microsoft ...
the domain name for which this record is valid, ending in a dot. TTL standard DNS time to live field. class standard DNS class field (this is always IN). priority the priority of the target host, lower value means more preferred. weight A relative weight for records with the same priority, higher value means more preferred. target
TKEY (transaction key) is a record type of the Domain Name System (DNS). TKEY resource records (RRs) can be used in a number of different modes to establish shared keys between a DNS resolver and name server .
The characteristic payload information of an MX record [1] is a preference value (above labelled "Priority"), and the domain name of a mailserver ("Host" above).. The priority field identifies which mailserver should be preferred - in this case the values are both 10, so mail would be expected to flow evenly to both onemail.example.com and twomail.example.com - a common configuration.
