What do the following mean, and what do they do? TTL Refresh Retry Expire I *think* TTL is Time for DNS entry to live before it forgets the entry. But if that's the case, then why is Expire there if TTL does the same thing? Refresh I *think* is when it re-loads the DNS entry from the main server, and retry I *think* is how often it tries to get a DNS entry until successful. Please correct me on my thinking so that I understand this. Thanks.
