Just checking, you are not creating new entries every time your server drops from the list, are you?  The entries remain registered for several months before they are actually deleted, and even if they do get deleted they can still be recovered unless the name gets used by a new server.

No, I just update the existing one.

I understand why these checks are in place, but for instance currently tests are failing on some servers because of this check:

dig A www.abs.gov.au @88.198.92.222 +short

• Recv: "65.8.56.73" "65.8.56.105" "65.8.56.90" "65.8.56.115"
• Expecting: "52.222.186.102" "52.222.186.98" "52.222.186.59" "52.222.186.119"

But that particular domain, seems to be very inconsistent right now

So that could potentially lead in many servers being removed.
