DNS should update faster.

Someone else needs to better understand how DNS works since your in control of the cache expiration time in the first place...
Bill
well...thats conservative...i usually see it from start to end in a little more than 24hrs.
..meaning getting a new domain name, to dns population.

If your not that means you don't have control of the zone. The point still stands, nothing indicates that anything is actually wrong with DNS itself (I'm guessing you just don't like the expiration values whoever is hosting for you choose?)
Bill
Yes, I'm not saying there's something that's wrong with it, I just wish that it updated faster, in general.
I wish chicks showed me their boobies on demand and a money tree would sprout in my back yard..
Damn ye, life!
I think we need some clarification here. First if you changed the zonefile on an existing nameserver the change does occur as soon as the database is reloaded. Other nameservers that cached the previous info will pick up new after expiration as you mention. Nameservers that had not cached will pickup new immediately.
However, changing nameservers associated with the account, has nothing to do with the TTL setting in the zone file. In this case, what is commonly called propagation delays, occur because the root nameservers' root-zone file get updated on a scheduled basis that ICANN determines. For example, a new domain will not be "live" until the new root-zone file with the domain's nameservers entries in it is loaded. Not all root nameservers load at the same time - by design. Thus for the period of propagation, some may be able to see it while others don't depending on the root nameserver that was queried.

Its what direct you to websites and teh IntaRwEb.
If you spend any time on the Internet sending e-mail or browsing the Web, then you use domain name servers without even realizing it. Domain name servers, or DNS, are an incredibly important but completely hidden part of the Internet, and they are fascinating! The DNS system forms one of the largest and most active distributed databases on the planet. Without DNS, the Internet would shut down very quickly.
