Infoblox DNS Scavenging: Managing DNS Records in Today’s Dynamic Environments

Infoblox DNS Scavenging enables the cleanup and removal of stale resource records, which can accumulate in DNS zones over time with both dynamic and static DNS. With dynamic updates, resource records are automatically added to zones when devices first connect to the network. In a pure Infoblox DNS/DHCP environment, when a DHCP lease expires, Infoblox deletes the DNS record automatically. In a static DNS environment, when services are decommissioned, system administrators often overlook the decommissioning of DNS records, which contributes to the accumulation of stale DNS records.

Infoblox DNS Scavenging enables automated, intelligent identification and removal of stale DNS information to optimize administration capabilities.

Infoblox delivers appliance-based solutions for business-critical DNS, DHCP, and IP Address Management (DDI) and Network Automation. Over 7,700 global enterprises and service providers use Infoblox to control their networks.
