I'm in the process of moving about 100 domains from one datacenter to another. Both machines are running FreeBSD 4.11 and DirectAdmin.
I would like to copy the sites over and then change the DNS records in DirectAdmin and have it point to the new server. The problem is I want this to happen as quickly as possible for email and DB driven sites.
So how do I change the time that the current records are good for? Do I change the TTL on each record? Or change the TTL in the template and have rewrite the records as Jeff describes here? http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1995&highlight=ttl
That thread seems to make sense but then when I look at the template it doesn't really make sense as I don't know as much as I should about DNS. So I'm asking here maybe I can learn something.
TIA
