Issue with DNS Dynamic Update and IPv6 Tunnels

Dec 16th, 2011

If you have disabled an IPv6 tunnel using the netsh command-line tool, the IPv6 interface will be successfully removed. However, the client will continue to register that interface’s IPv6 address with the DNS server until the server is rebooted.

To work around this issue, simply stop and restart the dnscache service (DNS Client service). This service is the one that actually registers names with the DNS server. Restarting it will cause it to re-inventory the interfaces and stop uploading old data.
