Re: Zone Transfer

The problem is the serial number of the zone.

QuickDNS Pro 2.x has a bug where it doesn't understand serial numbers
over 2^31 - 1 (approximately 2.147484e+09). The rules of DNS allow
serial numbers up to 2^32 - 1, or about double what QuickDNS Pro 2.x
understands. This particular zone has a serial number of 4001110816.

QuickDNS 3.5.x does not have this problem. I don't recall exactly
when we fixed this, but I think it was in the 3.0.x series. I was
able to successfully load the zone using QuickDNS Server 3.5.3.

Your options are:

- Convince the zone's administrator to lower the serial number to
something substantially lower.

- Upgrade to QuickDNS 3.x.

I don't know if we'll fix this in an update to QuickDNS Pro 2.x; I
doubt it at this point, or at least that it will happen anytime soon,
given what I know of current development efforts (which I can't talk
about at the moment).
