steele_uk Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 I have many host names apparently served by the same IP address. These are all legacy PC's that have either been removed or renamed. For some reason DNS wont release them. They all still resolve, but obviously aren't contactable. In some cases i have 6 hosts with the same IP. I have tried clearing the cache and restarting DNS, is there anything else i can do? Thanks
CyberNerd Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 turn scavenging on to remove old addresses
markberry Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 We have the same problem. Scavending doesn't remove them.
steele_uk Posted September 9, 2009 Author Posted September 9, 2009 Hmmm doesn't seem to work for me either.
CyberNerd Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 perhaps you will need to delete them manually
markberry Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 perhaps you will need to delete them manually But you can't do that every week or so when clients pick up new DHCP leases. It is supposed to update automatically and delete the old lease.
