Hoping MyDomain.com will lower the TTL from 3600 to 300 for a few days, so I can do the testing/migration I need to do a lot faster.
Even if your DNS provider lowers your TTL to 300 it doesn't mean other peoples servers (like ours) are going to expire their cache that quickly.
Drew: MyDomain.com (my DNS provider for 7 years now) says they cannot or will not lower the TTL. I now believe they are the same company as Dotster and ZoneEdit. So, the 3600 TTL I will need to live with, and I will try to get in here in the morning, about 3 A.M., to try this again. Hopefully I can test on the other server, after I switch the "A" record, wait one hour, check the authoritative name server to be sure it points to the other server and then flush the DNS cache in my IPCopbox.
