Hello Query king,
We can do that by configuring DNS scavenging. Aging and scavenging provide a means for the automatic removal of old and unused ("stale") records from the DNS database, significantly reducing the work required to keep the database up to date
To configure the aging and scavenging properties of a zone, perform the following steps:
- In the DNS Manager console, right-click the appropriate zone and select Properties.
- In the General tab of the zone's properties window, click the Aging
- Check the Scavenge stale resource recordsbox and set the no-refresh and refresh intervals for records in the zone.
Click OK when finished.
- Click OKto close the zone's properties window.
