Bulk update DNS TTL for all Plesk domains

This is useful when migrating servers and you want to reduce the DNS time to live for all domains.

Change the TTL on all domains to 5 mins (300 seconds) in the psa database.

# mysql -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` psa
mysql> UPDATE `dns_zone` SET `ttl` = '300', `ttl_unit` = '60' WHERE `id` >1;
mysql> quit

Then update the zone files via:

# mysql -Ns -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` -D psa -e 'select name from domains' | awk '{print "/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/dnsmng update " $1 }' | sh

Verify with:

$ dig @nameserver domain.tld soa
