DHCP register DNS record

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Hello all

My DNS and DHCP servers are located on the same servers,and these servers are also domain controllers. All DNS zones are integrated and are set to secure dynamic updates. When a xp or vista client gets an ip address from dhcp, and the A record for the client gets registered in DNS, when the client disconnects from the network at this point does the DHCP server delete the A record out of DNS, or does the A record remain in DNS until scaveging has been run againts the DNS zone?

When i look at DHCP properties for the scope i see an option for "Delete ptr and A records when the lease is delted" As i understand this when the client loses its dhcp assigned ip address, DHCP at this time will delete the record out of DNS

Thansk for any clarification
