Question about dns scavenging and dhcp MyGposts <mygposts[ at ]gmail.com> 11/20/2008 7:11:43 PM Have set up dns scavenging on one of 3 dns servers using active directory-integrated zones. We have set no-refresh interval for 5 days, refresh interval for 5 days and we have set the dhcp lease duration for 5 days and clicked th box next to "Scavenge all stale resource records" and the netx prompt "apply these settings to the existing Active Directory-integrated zones." Should they all match the same number of days? If we later need to shorten the dhcp lease time, do we need to also shorten the the refresh, no-refresh or both to match?

Re: Question about dns scavenging and dhcp MyGposts <mygposts[ at ]gmail.com> 11/20/2008 7:32:27 PM We also set the scavenging period to 5 days. So, everything is set for 5 days.

If too short, records may disappear before their time and cause issues, especially if created by DHCP deafult lease period. That article Deji posted. goes into it in depth.
