Yes.  ttl is what you want to decrease for more frequent updates from your
master server.  However, remote DNS's will not cache the data as long
(obviously), resulting in more hits on your master.

expire tels how long a secondary server can go without contacting a master
server (in seconds) before it will expire its data and stop responding for
that domain.  Thus, it's not what you want.
