Kevin....Thanks for the quick response.....
I suspected that first I did was remove the Scavenging setting on the
forward zone.....since then things are cool .....
Yes they were static records....
Can you please help me summarise my understanding on this...apologies if I
am confused on some things
1. The servers whose A records were missing from the zone were Win2k Servers
with static IP
--> My assumtion : They are active servers so I belive that the records
should not be scavanged
2. The DNS is configured for secure updates
----> My assumption is the servers being members of the domain should be
able to do a dynamic update
3. a bit more for "make sure they aren't time stamped"
Thanks for your valuable time.
