Client TTLs Decremented by Two Minutes on Each Ils.modify

• Microsoft Commercial Internet System version 1.0 - Microsoft Internet Locator Server (ILS)

SYMPTOMS

An Internet Locator Server (ILS) client Time to Live (TTL) value is decremented by two minutes on each ILS modify.

CAUSE

The client TTL is not being reset in the correct place in the code. This causes an incorrect client TTL value to be returned. The incorrect value is always two minutes less than the current client TTL, due to some internal adjustments to deal with latency problems and because the TTL is not reset in the right place in the code. After each modify request, refresh the client TTL so that it will match the server TTL.
