[Opendnssec-user] GKG.net - is it any good?

Hi

As I'm making my way through the docs and cooking up a policy for my
domains, I have a few questions.
I've migrated my cajones.org test domain from GANDI.net to GKG.net, so
now I can add DS records.
Has anyone else used this registrar before? Are they any good?

Anyway, I couldn't find any information about GKG's DNSSEC policies,
so I'm still a bit in the dark about the TTLs...
The default policy lists this:

        <Parent>
            <PropagationDelay>PT9999S</PropagationDelay>
            <DS>
                <TTL>PT3600S</TTL>
            </DS>
            <SOA>
                <TTL>PT172800S</TTL>
                <Minimum>PT10800S</Minimum>
            </SOA>
        </Parent>


I concluded that I should use 3600 for the TTL.
The GKG.net site has a much higher default: 3456000, which is 40 days,
see attached screendump.
I filled in 3600 and waited, but now the DS shows up with 86400 in .org:

Any ideas what might be going on here?
Could it be that GKG has a default of 40 days, and will override
anything lower than 1 day to 1 day?

Thanks!!
