It appears that a "$ttl n" directive in your zone master file, where n
is an integer (I've tried as low a 1), will permit you to control the
TTL on the A RRs.

Doesn't seem to work for me:

  ------ zone file -----------

$ttl 1
@       1s      IN      SOA     malvm9.viu.ca.     Postmaster.viu.ca. (
                                        2008070602      ; Serial
                                        7200    ; refresh every 2 hours
                                        3600    ; retry every hour
                                        12096000 ; expire in twenty weeks
                                        1s) ; maximum NXDOMAIN cache

                IN      NS      malvm3.viu.ca.
                IN      NS      malvm9.viu.ca.

@               IN      A       142.25.103.73
@               IN      A       142.25.103.71

  I restart the server:

MALVM9> mu netcon domain restart
Connected to NETCONTROL server on "LOCALHOST"
< malvm9.mala.bc.ca Network Control V5.2(10) at Mon 14-Jul-2008 9:55PM-PDT
< Shutting Down Nameserver
< Nameserver Shut Down
< Starting Nameserver
< Nameserver Started, process id 34600CBD

  And do a lookup:

MALVM9> mu nslook vmscluster.mala.bc.ca localhost /debug

TTL still says 5 minutes. What did I do wrong?
