Okay, minor lesson learned about AREDN. I had tried creating a couple of additional services and reserved a couple of DHCP devices on my node K6HX-GLUSB150, but then decided to move the hardware to a new location and wire it to different hardware. So I did, and then tried to delete those services. On the the local node, the old services that I deleted were gone, but they continued to be listed on the pages of different node as accessible.

Apparently the issue is that while the node itself deletes the reference, there isn’t apparently a means by which the services push out deletion events to other nodes on the network. The only way that these cache entries are deleted is if the node itself disappears from the mesh network for a period of ten minutes. So, I disconnected the node from power, let the cache expire, and voila, it’s all back to normal.

Strange, but simple enough.
