It is fine to expire manually by running sa-learn --force-expire. That will perform all of the proper actions, updating the various variables correctly. Doing it in SQL by hand is asking for trouble. The way that the system is designed only one process should be able to perform an expire at once. So, you keep auto expire on and each server can determine if they should opportunistically perform the expire. I'm having a hard time imagining how things could become corrupted. Michael
