Haven't worked with them myself. Curious what else they provide since just
setting the TTL to 5 mins can be done by anyone. It's just a setting you
use on the NS entries of your DNS server. You could even use a free DNS
hosting service such as zoneedit.com and set your TTL to 5 mins.

Subject: DNS Disaster Recovery Question
All,
A customer of mine has asked me to look at a company called Netnames.com.
This is to do with using DNS for disaster recovery, i.e., changing the
ip address to point at a server in a different data centre.
Their solution is to change the TTL on the customers DNS to 5 mins, you
can also log in to change it if need be.
Have any of you service provider chaps come across this place? Is there
an alternative/easier/cheaper solution?
Any comments/suggestions greatly welcomed.
LH
