Depending on the math it may be higher, or it may be lower. If you control
the masters and slaves your best bet is to simply fix the master, delete
the zone files on the slaves and reload them all. If you don't control the
slaves, dig the zones to see what they think the serial is, and follow the
procedure in DNS and BIND to rotate the serials. It can be done in 2 or 3
cycles, depending on how lucky you get.
Good luck,
Doug
