Queries for local DNS records exploding

Anyone else noticed the TTL for local DNS records being zero seconds with one of the later updates?

I'm puzzled that didn't hit you earlier, as that should have been the case since Pi-hole FTL v5.10.1, Web v5.7 and Core v5.5 released from September 2021 (emphasis mine):

Handle TTL for blocked queries separately
You can now set your own local-ttl value if you want to.
Note that this changes the default TTL for local hostnames from two seconds to “do not cache” (dnsmasq’s default). If you want to avoid this, create a file like /etc/dnsmasq.d/99-local-ttl.conf and add a line like local-ttl=60 for one minute TTL on local hostnames.
