Yeah, we have over 150 servers (mostly VMs, these days). I don't want to create static DNS records, that is just something else to remember to delete, when the server gets retired or renamed ... especially when the servers should quite easily just register themselves in DNS, as they always have done, up until this point. > As to the why part, I can't answer that.

Yeah, it's baffling, I come in this morning, and there are like 2 dozen or more servers I have to register in DNS again, for some reason.
