Well, now that's odd. My install of QDNS 2.2.4 has an editable Serial Number
field in the Domain Information dialog (which is essentially the SOA). QDNS
does automagically increment the serial number whenever a change is made to a
zone, but that's a good thing -- it's how it's supposed to work.

They should agree in any case. It's how slave servers determine whether or not
they have the same data as their master(s).
