server device1 device1.local:8080 check resolvers mydns A stale device record in a redirector is a state inconsistency problem caused by missing deregistration, long TTLs, or broken health checks. It degrades availability and misdirects traffic. The fix involves immediate manual cleanup, then implementing TTL reduction, health checks, and a device heartbeat/deregistration protocol. Long-term, shift to service discovery with real-time consistency.
