Exactly - my biggest complaint about ELB on AWS is that they relied on people honouring a TTL that was ridiculously low, and as such now honoured by many clients.

Yup.

The day I got a bunch of Netflix traffic sent to servers I was running thanks to ELB and caching resolvers not honoring TTL values was great fun.

(That was also the day we learnt that our 500 page was actually really expensive to render, which added to the excitement...)
