DNS duplicated IP address confusion


i'm not running dhcp on server (so can't check if duplicate) , have noticed in dns server (under forward lookup zones -> pembcab.org) there more 1 entry ip address allocated our server.

the ip address 10.42.16.1 allocated hwserver (which server) , allocated win-eovjrce2ah4. both entries listed static.

i don't have lot of experience dns second entry related server?

first thing: mean listed "static"? cannot see diference host(a) records registered dynamicly or manual.

win-eovjrce2ah4 sounds me might temporary name assigned windows setup. might have been dynamicly registered never unregistered.

another possibility record created compatibility. if in past application migrated win-eovjrce2ah4 hwserver, reconfiguring host(a) record win-eovjrce2ah4 woudl enable users use same connection strings (path) in software. in case however, recommend using alias instead of host(a) record.

be aware though when considering cleaning dns records: might brake things! might consider implementing scavenging rid of outdated/old records.
