It does in some way. But it's like now I know I am
in a rabbit hole and before I didn't know what hole.
But I appreciate your time and consideration on it and
I will read more about it.


I see log events like TTL 835 for mail1.example.com
(of course the log events are formated by me)

14:23:33 Altering TTL 865 for mail1.example.com
14:23:33 Altering TTL 865 for mail1.example.com
14:23:34 Altering TTL 864 for mail1.example.com
14:23:34 Altering TTL 864 for mail1.example.com
14:23:34 Altering TTL 864 for mail1.example.com
14:23:35 Altering TTL 863 for mail1.example.com

Disabling packet-cache offers no relief and I guess it
is a feature.
