If you are  a little unsure and do not want to be caught up in an endless Time To Live waiting period do this:

BEFORE you start any changes Set to the TTL to 300.  This means you can make changes that will be effective in 5 minutes rather than 14400s (4 hours). Also it will enable you to undo and only have to wait 5 minutes to fix – in case you make a typo or something ( not that you would!)

It is important, for your sites security,  though to reset the TTL to 14400 AFTER you are happy with the changes.
