forward and reverse lookup zones showing multiple instances of same ip

hello,
to start, i just came into this company, after researching their configurations i have noticed there are 6 instances of multiple ip's in my forward and reverse lookup zones, however they are not all the same in the forward and reverse zones, i then checked the leases in dhcp and it shows no duplicate addresses handed out(lease is set at 8 days), i know that 2 machines with same mac address could cause this but can not believe it would be 6, i have also set conflict detection to 1(new change), my scope is set to 192.168.2.50-150 and i have only about 70 users, i know dhcp will not hand out the same address and i have plenty to spare, i have some users say they lose connectivity at random points in the day, i am sure ip conflict is causing this, thanks in advance for any recommendations,         mike

Hello

Do any of the machines have static ip's set ? It could be causing your intermittent problems. When you say 6 instances of the same ip in dns are they all the same node or all different ones ?

Hope this helps

no they are all dhcp, i am thinking thay are stale instances left in dns from the pc's being reinstalled which would still have the same mac address
