How long should it take DNS to propagate throughout the Internet ?

DNS Propogation can be anywhere between 12 to 96 hours, depending on the frequency that ISPs around the world update their DNS servers.

In order to reduce traffic (and therefore cost) a number of ISPs including:

  • NTL
  • Demon
  • Wanadoo
have started caching DNS results to cut down the number of queries made.

This can further extend DNS resoliution times by anything upto a week.
