Re: dns basics

Yes, the LAN has DHCP, and it comes from the router (not from the Win Server
2003).

So those repeating records are stale records then. I've just enabled
scavenging as well as done a manual scavenging, but those records are still
there. I'll try rebooting the server and see how.

Thanks for the tip.
