To speed up resolution, the client will often store the results of resolution locally
(in the browser quite often) so that it does not have to query again if the same
resolution needs to be done. This is known as DNS caching, and this is also done
by caching nameservers (also known as recursive nameservers). Since it is
possible that values change (a different IP address issued to a host than it
previously had), caches typically come with TTL (time to live) values and time
out after a while.
D. Time to live (TTL)
The Time to Live (TTL) value is a field in the DNS record that tells caching DNS servers how long they should keep the information in their cache before discarding it and requesting new information from the authoritative DNS server.
A. UDP forwarding
UDP forwarding is a technique used to forward packets from one network interface to another. It is not related to the update of MX records.
B. DNS caching
DNS caching is a technique used by DNS servers to temporarily store DNS query results to speed up subsequent requests for the same information. It is not related to expediting MX record updates.
C. Recursive lookup
Recursive lookup is a technique used by DNS resolvers to find the answer to a DNS query by querying other DNS servers on behalf of the client. It is not related to expediting MX record updates.
To expedite MX (Mail Exchanger) record updates to authoritative name servers (NSs), you can take several steps to help ensure that the changes are propagated as quickly as possible:
Lower the TTL (Time to Live): The TTL value in your DNS records determines how long DNS resolvers and caches should retain the information. By lowering the TTL for your MX records well in advance of making changes, you reduce the time it takes for DNS resolvers to update to the new MX record settings. A TTL value of 300 seconds (5 minutes) is a common choice.
It's important to note that DNS propagation is not instantaneous, and changes may take some time to reach all DNS resolvers on the internet. The exact time it takes for MX record updates to propagate can vary based on TTL settings and other factors. Lowering the TTL in advance, however, is a proactive step to help expedite the process.
GPT picks "(D) Time to live" and explains why:
"In simple terms, the "time to live" (TTL) is like a timer that tells other computers how long they can remember certain information, like where to find a website's email servers. When you want to update where those email servers are located (using MX records), you might set a low TTL. This short timer tells other computers to forget the old location quickly and ask for the new one. So, by using a low TTL, you can make sure that changes to your email servers are noticed and used by other computers more quickly."
