Herb,

Thanks for your reply. IŽll tell you what happened on my first round of
scavenging.

1. Some manually entered A records were scavenged.
2. No CNAME records were scavenged.

Why do you discourage the use of scavenging? I am trying to rule out DNS as
a problem I am having with a few (3 or 4) XP clients I have that take ten
minutes to log in every Monday after they have been turned off for a few
days.
