Use Aging and Scavenging

Applies To: Windows Server 2008

Aging and scavenging is the process by which resource records are given a time stamp when they are created and then removed when their age exceeds a specified limit. This process is especially useful for preventing the accumulation of invalid records when resource records are automatically created, as with dynamic update.
