I have a issue with our DNS servers. Apparently old DNS addresses are
staying in the server of computers that haven't been in existent for
years. Why would this be? Shouldn't old addresses automatically be
purged out of the system at some point.
No, they will not remove themselves, unless they were DHCP addresses and
DHCP servers owned the record. Enable scavenging to clean them up.
