My nsdiff script can set the serial number to unix time or YYYYMMDDNN; if that's too small it falls back to increment mode. There's still a bug, though: lack of support for proper modulo semantics :-) It also uses the SOA record as an update prerequisite for detecting races and other inconsistencies. (The system Chris is responsible for uses an HINFO record for this purpose.) http://www-uxsup.csx.cam.ac.uk/~fanf2/hermes/conf/bind/bin/nsdiff Tony. -- f.anthony.n.finch <d...@dotat.at> http://dotat.at/ Hebrides: North or northeast 4 or 5.
