[Samba] Internal DNS update behavior / scavenging records

Hello,

     I'm noticing if a client changes IP's. It registers it's new IP but 
doesn't update the existing record. So what I see is two A records for 
the same client but with different IP's in the Microsoft DNS snap in 
tool. Shouldn't the client update it's existing record and not create a 
new one? Is this considered normal behavior at the moment?
