This section discusses issues you must consider when configuring scavenging parameters.
To ensure that no records are deleted before the dynamic update client has time to refresh them, make certain that the refresh interval is greater than the refresh period for each record within a zone. Many different services might refresh records at different intervals; for example, Netlogon refreshes records once an hour, cluster servers generally refresh records every 15 to 20 minutes, DHCP servers refresh records at renewal of IP address leases, and Windows 2000–based computers refresh their A and PTR resource records every 24 hours.
Usually, the DHCP service requires the longest refresh interval of all services. If you are using the Windows 2000 DHCP service, you can use the default scavenging and aging values. If you are using another DHCP server, you might need to modify the defaults.
The longer you make the no-refresh and refresh intervals, the longer stale records remain. Therefore, you might want to make those intervals as short as is reasonable. However, if you make the no-refresh interval too short, you might cause unnecessary replication by Active Directory.
