> DNS TTL is a lie. Even though we have TTL of one minute for www.dropbox.com, it still takes 15 minutes to drain 90% of traffic, and it may take a full hour to drain 95% of traffic.

Interesting, awhile back both Google and AWS engineers replied to a HN thread[1] saying TTL of 30 seconds or so works pretty responsibly and can be trusted and used. Seems to be some disagreement on this.
