Good Day,



I am looking for some info on scavenging DNS records. Here is my issue. I
have setup a Sonicwall and pointed it at our internal DNS server so that
when a computer goes to a web site I can see who or what the computer is
doing. It worked but I noticed that my computer name or IP address was off
after I looked at it. It seems that I have multiply listing of old IP
address or names listed in the DNS listing which shows older computers with
older IP address (we have internal DHCP). I was looking around and found
some stuff about scavenging and it looks like that is what I should
activate. After checking the settings I found that it was not set.



We are running windows 2003 SP1 and have the following servers Exchange 2003
SP2, SQL 2000. Desktops are running Windows XP SP2



So I would like to know a little bit more about it. What does it do? Can
it cause issues down the road and if so what? What is the normal setting
for a small company say 50 users.



Thank You

Adam Raff

Hello Adam,

Thank you for using newsgroup!

From your post, if the issue occurs on several clients, you may use command
"ipconfig /flushdns" to purge the DNS resolver cache.

Thanks & Regards,

Scavenging will clean up names that have been dynamically registered in your
dns zone you have defined for scavenging. There are two placed that have to
be defined. Scavenging has to be defined on both the zone you want
scavenged as well as the dns server that is to do the scavenging. The
default time to complete a scavenge run is 14 days.

To get an explanation of the full process, I would recommend reading
