The TTL value determines how long DNS resolvers (like your ISP's DNS servers) will cache the PTR record information. A shorter TTL means changes propagate faster, but it can increase DNS traffic. A longer TTL means changes take longer to propagate, but it reduces DNS traffic. Typically, a TTL of 3600 seconds (1 hour) is a good balance.
