What is the difference between tombstoning a WINS record and simply deleting it?
Simple deletion removes the records that are selected in the WINS console only from the local WINS server you are currently managing. If the WINS records deleted in this way exist in WINS data replicated to other WINS servers on your network, these additional records are not fully removed. Also, records that are simply deleted on only one server can reappear after replication between the WINS server where simple deletion was used and any of its replication partners. Tombstoning marks the selected records as tombstoned, that is, marked locally as extinct and immediately released from active use by the local WINS server. This method allows the tombstoned records to remain present in the server database for purposes of subsequent replication of these records to other servers. When the tombstoned records are replicated, the tombstone status is updated and applied by other WINS servers that store replicated copies of these records. Each replicating WINS server then updates and tombstones

This is where unscrupuless insurance agents use the names of dead people and create insurance policies for them. Agents often work on large up front commissions so get money almost immediately a new policy is signed. The average policy lasts for 20 years so the big insurance companies were happy to pay up early especially if the first 2 years of the premium was paid in advance. This was usually the trigger to get paid the maximum commission early. The math was simple: 2 years premium, say $800.00. Commission on a new policy to the dodgy insurance agent, $2500.00. The agent figures that they can milk the cow till they get out with the money. Oh and instead of looking through the births deaths etc a quick trip to the cemetery was all that was needed to get the names.
