In addition to what the other poster said about the zone file being the 
problem, it's important to understand that there is no "valid serial 
for today".  The use of that serial format is a common convention, but 
has absolutely no significance to the named.  What it cares about is 
that the serial number be increasing.  So if you were trying random 
numbers in the last field, that won't work either.  They need to be 
increasing, whether sequentially or not.
