Once there are several hundred adhoc machines being brought up, each with a unique name. Their hostname gets added to the DNS.

Then upon TTL expiring, will the DNS entry still be reachable, or if the host has been down for some-time, it [dns-entry] will be cleared?

What's the best way to manipulate these timeouts?

Thank you.

Thanks for saying what you run. That helps a lot :)

ISC DHCP and BIND are sort of hands-off with each other. DHCP will maintain the DNS records, but BIND will not automatically expire them. However, DHCP should.

DNS will tomb stone the record and they will then be removed from DNS.
