Oh yeah, I recognize them.  A lot of this is from swapping out hardware,
building new hardware, etcetcetc.  The old ones aren't being purged.  So
it's going to be a major manual deal... Maybe I can do some creative
scripting to do some of the work for me.  There are probably 400 addresses,
some with 1 entry, some with 10.  Just depends on the subnet and what's been
going on on that floor. 

Thanks Jeff!

Jennifer

What are all the machine names, do you recognize them??  Are they A records
or CNAME records?  If the entries are all for Windows machines, and there's
not hundreds of IP addresses to deal with, I would do an NBTSTAT -A
<ip_address> on each address.  On a windows machine, this will tell you the
machine name, the logged in user, and the domain or workgroup it is a member
of.

Then you can just prune all the dead stuff out.

Hi Guys - 

        I have a user who has put in a request to "clean up DNS"  As it
turns out, there are multiple entries on our DNS servers for each IP address
going to a different host name.  I've asked for help repeatedly from the guy
who set all this up, and he doesn't give me any answers.  So I'm wondering
if you guys have seen this, and if you might know of an MS Patch or someway
to prevent/fix it.  DNS does work fine, but I can't really tell you too much
about how it's configured.  We have one Sun box, and 2 Windows 2000 Domain
controllers that are handling DNS.  

Thanks,

Jen
