ok....Try to stick with me, as I explain this mess. Having inherited DNS, it appears that scavenging was never put on for the DHCP scopes, and there are over 60k of "dead" PTR records to clean up. Unfortunately it was never turned on, since the fear of static records being wiped in the process if addresses had time stamps on them.
Originally they had Class B addresses, but there is a clear designation of Dynamic subnets and static subnets, so we are converting the class B to class C's since the zone level is where we can set scavenging times, and what not. The problem with this is, it will create a HUGE number of reverse zones (looking at around 600-1000!) My question is, is there are a hard limit as to how many zones that can be handled? With the cleaned up zones there might be only a few records per zone (some had over 1500!!!), so the data might not be that high. It's just spread out amongst many zones.
