VeriSign updating DNS for .com/.net in realtime

Verisign has announced it is going to switch from twice a day updates of com/net DNS records to near-realtime. They had started to make changes towards this back in February:

http://merit.edu/mail.archives/nanog/msg06188.html
VeriSign Naming and Directory Services (VNDS) currently generates new
versions of the .com/.net zones files twice per day. VNDS is
scheduled to deploy on September 8, 2004 a new feature that will
enable VNDS to update the .com/.net zones more frequently to reflect
the registration activity of the .com/.net registrars in near real
time. After the rapid DNS update is implemented, the elapsed time
from registrars' add or change operations to the visibility of those
adds or changes in all 13 .com/.net authoritative name servers is
expected to average less than five minutes.
