Update IP on host does not update reverse DNS entries
Description
When modifiying the IP of a host, the DNS and DHCP entries are not updated (although a warning message is displayed before submitting the change)
1. My DHCP server has the range 160-200
2. A new built up server picks an IP of 161 from the DHCP server.
3. I update the IP on the web interface to 140 (outside the DHPC range)
4. A pop up is displayed noting that a record already exists for that IP on the DNS and DHCP servers.
5. Click Overwrite
6. The host upgrades the IP to the new .140
7. Reviewing the entries on /var/named/dynamic/db.network and /var/named/dynamic/db.IP don't include the changes.
I did a service restart of dhcpd, named and foreman-proxy and:
8. /var/named/dynamic/db.network was updated to the new IP
9. /var/named/dynamic/db.IP still shows the old IP of the server

Sounds like the problem is the rDNS entry isn't being removed, probably related to the overwrite being used as that flags up as an "error", the orchestration might be being skipped or something. Worth checking for proxy logs too to verify which requests are received during the IP address change.
