When are DNS records like dust bunnies? When DHCP leases expire in a hybrid enterprise network, it\u2019s frequently easy for system administrators to overlook decommissioning the associated DNS records. It\u2019s a labor-intensive job that nobody wants to pay attention to. Poor documentation in handoffs or employee turnover often also contribute to the accumulation of stale DNS records. DNS clutter may degrade DNS performance, increase operational overhead and cause name-resolution issues for users.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s when stale DNS records proliferate like dust bunnies. That\u2019s when you need the equivalent of an automated Roomba vacuum cleaner to come in and clean up!<\/p>\n
It\u2019s important to note that in a pure Infoblox DNS\/ DHCP environment, when a DHCP lease expires, Infoblox deletes the DNS record automatically. However, in some Infoblox and Microsoft hybrid environments, this might not be the case. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve created our advanced\u00a0Infoblox DNS Scavenging<\/a>\u00a0feature, which enables automated, intelligent identification and removal of stale DNS information in hybrid environments.<\/p>\n Senior product manager Roger Barlow and I are hosting a 30-minute webinar on Wednesday, April 20, on\u00a0Building a Best-of-breed DNS, DHCP, IPAM Solution<\/a>. We\u2019ll\u00a0share how to build core capabilities that optimize security, visibility and efficiency in Infoblox and Microsoft environments.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll learn:<\/p>\n Don\u2019t let the complexity or clutter of dust bunnies get you down. Register\u00a0here<\/a>. Meanwhile, you can learn more about Infoblox DNS Scavenging in this video:<\/p>\n\n
