Dynamic DNS, scavenging, and such

If a computer name is changed, it seems that the dynamic DNS updates the
forward lookup zone, but simply adds another reverse pointer (same IP,
different name). Is there any way to change this behavior (when the forward
pointer is dynamically changed, it changes the reverse pointer?)

When adding reverse lookup zones, you can simplify the process of adding
pointer (PTR) resource records to these zones by:
- Using the Update associated pointer (PTR) record option when manually
adding host (A) resource records to forward lookup zones.
- Deploying DHCP servers and enabling DHCP-DNS integration features to help
manage and update reverse lookup zones for legacy clients.

With Windows XP on your client computers, either the client or its Windows
Server 2003 DHCP server can be enabled to perform pointer (PTR) resource
record registration for the client when its IP address is obtained and
configured.
