<title>Incrementing and Changing the Serial Number</title>

Zone serial numbers are just numbers — they aren't date
|
||||
related. A lot of people set them to a number that represents a
|
||||
date, usually of the form YYYYMMDDRR. A number of people
|
||||
tested these numbers for Y2K compliance and set the number
|
||||
to the year 2000 to see if it would work. They then tried to restore
|
||||
the old serial number. This caused problems because serial
|
||||
numbers are used to indicate that a zone has been updated. If the
|
||||
serial number on the slave server is lower than the serial number
|
||||
on the master, the slave server will attempt to update its copy of
|
||||
the zone.

Occasionally they will make a mistake and set them to a

"date in the future" then try to correct them by setting

them to the "current date". This causes problems because
