<br><tt><font size=2>Damned good question. RFC 2308 appears to be
silent on that issue, except to say:</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>"Where a server does not require RRs to include
the TTL value explicitly, it should provide a mechanism, ** not being the
value of the MINIMUM field of the SOA record **, from which the missing
TTL values are obtained." (my emphasis).</font></tt>
