Kevin,

Thanks for the info but here is my need.....

You stated that:

The TTL is taken from the TTL of the record in the authoritative
zone......

I suppose that I could somehow go in and adjust each TTL on every
record but that seems cumbersome. Is there a way in which you can
set the TTL so that when a new record is added to the zone it gets
the default?

That is what the Minimum (default) TTL setting on the SOA record is for, if
you set the default TTL to say 15 minutes, all new records get the default
15 minute TTL, by default. This TTL is also given to Negative responses.
Keep in mind, setting the Default TTL to a very low value, it greatly
increases the traffic between the caching and Authoritative servers. I
wouldn't go below 30 seconds in any case, if you set it to 0, the record can
expire before it is cached and can cause DNS errors.
