domain: proppogation problem

Hi all. Last night I got rndc working and now it seems the server is 
running as it should be. However, when I try resolving my domain from a 
machine other than mine, on a different network, it still isn't found. 
This means that I have still not been noticed by the root servers. I 
don't remember who said this, but what was mentioned was that the 
proppogation time had to do with the way your zone file was written. 
Would the MINTTL field of the SOA record by any chance have something to 
do with this? Currently, I have my serial number set to yyyymmdd format, 
refresh is 1H, retry is 2H, expire is 1W, and TTL is 1D. I assume that 
since TTL is set to 1 day that it can take up to 24 hours to proppogate, 
and that if I want to reduce this time I should reduce the TTL field? Am 
I still going wrong on something here? P.S: Thanks for all the replies 
so far!
