change default for dns record TTL

[Justin Albstmeijer]

Hi,

Currently the default TTL for dns records is 86400.
Is there a nice way to change this default?

I already fixed it for records in a new domain created based on a template, but 86400 is still the default for manual entries.

I fixed it now with

sed -i s/86400/900/g ispconfig/interface/web/dns/form/dns_*

But I hoped there would be a nice way that will survive an ISPconfig upgrade.

Thanks.

You can set the ttl for all records created by the dns wizard by creating a custom dns wizard template.

Thats what I said.
I can indeed fix it for entries added through a template wizard.
I am looking for a solution to set a default for the manual dns entries that are being added after the default ones have been created by the template wizard.

Maybe I should have called it 'DNS Zone records' to prevent confusion.

I think the value is hard-coded somewhere, and you can change it manually only for each record through ISPConfig.

That was my assumption too when starting this thread.

"I fixed it now with: sed -i s/86400/900/g ispconfig/interface/web/dns/form/dns_*"

Should I open a feature request to make this hard-coded value configurable?

Yes, please open a feature request for that in the bugtracker.
