My big worry is: won’t this mean that a hack attack against their datbase now has to be caught and fixed within 5 seconds? Isn’t that a gaping big hole?

Five minutes seems much more reasonable.

We could all set our DNS servers to 5 seconds if we wanted, and watch the internet crawl to a stop. Sure, there is more bandwidth available, but the bottom line is, if you are transfering the same information across lines every 5 seconds, you are wasting bandwidth. </p> The reason the refresh times are what they are now is because of network traffic.
