Problem with Topology service

Every once in a while on our web front ends we get this error.   no uhmc-sp-app01 has not been a part of this farm for quite some time.  It was at one time our "application" server (a physical server) , but since we have replace it with app02 and app03(virtual servers)  We went through the process of uninstalling sharepoint on that server and removing it through central admin and what not .. but it still appears that something references this server every once in a while .. and I think it has caused some erratic behavior at times.. random errors saving a form, random errors in search.. and the errors seem to coincide with this error (which could be my imagination) .. Any ideas how to get sharepoint to stop looking at that old server for topology services?

If you do a get-spserver do you see uhmc-sp-app01?

Just some additional info from

(Get-SPTopologyServiceApplicationProxy).ApplicationProxies | Format-List *

and

Get-SPTopologyServiceApplication | Format-List *

Note the first command returns the app01 which doesn't exist.. and the second command returns the app02 which does exist.. and the "name" of 1 matches the "id" of the second

I never did .. I still get the error randomly.   It doesn't appear to be causing any problems but sadly it still pops up from time to time.
