Firstly, I think "what is this supposed to mean?"

dig -x is for reverse lookups - you give it an address and it tells you what 
name has been assigned in a PTR record (as opposed to a forward lookup, which 
takes a name and tells you what address/s have been assigned in A or AAAA 
records).

Therefore "dig -x" with a name makes no sense to me.

That's the TTL for lookups on a *root* name server - in fact I'm slightly 
surprised it's even as long as 15 minutes.

A large TTL on root name servers would prevent the rest of the Internet from 
finding out about new name/address assignments in a timely manner.

Yes, I think that's the problem.

What would be a good value for what?

What are you trying to achieve / find out?
