I think I know what happened: a while ago we had a problem with our 
virtualization infrastructure that lead to a partial failure of dc2 and 
a catastrophic failure of dc1 (not to mention failures in every other 
server). I could recover dc2 pretty quickly, but I had to recover dc1 
from backups.
That's *not* the problem though: while I was recovering dc1, dns 
resolution was unbearably slow on every server, because I had dc1 as the 
first nameserver and dc2 as the second.
To avoid that happening again in the future, I installed dnsmasq (since 
it caches results and it's quicker to detect that a nameserver is down) 
on every server, including the dhcp server.
Now, the script on the dhcp server that updates the dns record checks if 
the record exists using "host", but now it gets its result from dnsmasq, 
hence probably causing those duplicates.
I amended the script to check directly on dc1, lets' see if it fixes the 
issue (a issue that shouldn't happen anyway: I'm using the published 
interfaces to update the records, so that shouldn't stop the replication).

Bye
