Generally, a good way to create the serial number is to use the format of: YYYYMMDDNN Where: Y = Year M = Month D = Day N = revision number starting at 00 So if you edit the file on March 31, 2010, you would make the serial number 2010033100. If you edit it again on the same day, you would just increment the last digit. You should update the serial number in any zone file you edit before running "rndc reload". - Dave
