Clean up DNS records

Is there a way to bump my Forward Lookup Zone records in my DNS against the computers that currently reside in AD so that I can delete old DNS records that are no longer valid?

Or, can someone suggest the best way to make sure that the forward lookup zone stays cleaned up automatically.

Thanks for the input. I set my dns to scavenge every 9 days.

I thought I would do a manual scavenge, and I go the following event.

The DNS server has completed a scavenging cycle but no nodes were visited. Possible causes of this condition include:

1) No zones are configured for scavenging by this server.
2) A scavenging cycle was performed within the last 30 minutes.
3) An error occurred during scavenging.

The next scavenging cycle is scheduled to run in 216 hours.

The event data will contain the error code if there was an error during the scavenging cycle.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at

The Source is DNS and the Event ID is 2502

Any ideas why a manual scavange would not work (other than what's listed above?)
