References: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hello, Note that changing the serial number doesn't help if the rest of the data in the file is incorrect :-) (as I described in a previous message). Also, note that using a date-style string for the serial number in the SOA records is merely a convenience for the DNS administrator, so that it's easy to see when a DNS record was last updated. The only requirement from named's point of view is that a new serial number must be *greater than* the old serial number, otherwise named won't think that the configuration file has been updated. Also note that when changing values in DNS, some servers will have cached the old values, and they won't time out until the "TTL" time (given either in the SOA records, on the A record itself, or in the $TTL directive) has passed. (In general, one would allow for the Refresh time also, but in this case it looks like both dns servers are directly controlled and can be updated with the correct information at the same time.)
