Yep! I found that out. One of my servers is new and only had a test volume
on it so I removed the test volume and the deleted the entry in the vldb.
I then recreated the the test volume and then looked at the list in the 
vldb.
and to my surprise the server now showed up in the middle of the list. So I
was able to clean up the vldb by removing the old entries but I can not 
order
the list so I will have to use a sort in my scripts.

Thanks for the help.
