Plesk's DNS tool should allow modification of the TTL and the other zoneinfo timeouts.
One caveat to moving domains between servers and/or IP addresses on the same box are these timeouts as DNS information is propagated across the web. Allowing a non-manual way to get at those values would be very helpful.
There could even be recommended combinations for the values.... such as "stable - for domains that never change", "normal - default settings" and "soon to be migrated - for domains where a change is imminent"
This function would allow admins to truly customize the load they are placing on their DNS servers and harness it to perform their administrivia tasks.
