The generally accepted method (AFAIR) is mmddxx,
where xx starts at 00 and is incremented for each change during that day. This

4 days

You can 'reset' (roll-over) the serial number, but when you do
so you have to realize that the secondaries may continue to cache
the 'old' version of the zone file all the w
