[BlueOnyx:11051] Re: Secondary DNS records: no expire?

[Dogsbody]

What is the Expire Interval set to in the SOA for one of the affected 
domains?  This time is how long the secondary should carry on serving 
the domain for after the primary goes offline.

It's usual to set this to a high number such as 604800 (7 days) although 
anything up to 4096000 (47 days) is valid.

That left us with a primary server that was down and a secondary sever with no records... Which of course caused our domain to go dark for a little while.
