Search Again: Re: Serial mismatch? From: Men & Mice Support Date: Monday, July 1, 2002 Time: 7:52:17 pm The serial number is only used by the slave servers to determine if their version is out of date. If you control all of the servers to which these zones are being moved, then there should be no problem. If any of the old slave servers will still be used after this takeover, then they will need to have their old copy of the zone removed (while the DNS service is not running) in order to fix the problem. Other servers out on the Internet don't use the serial number for anything. They won't notice the change. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice support@menandmice.com Making DNS Easy At 4:31 PM +0200 6/28/02, Thomas Wenzl wrote: >Hi all. > >We will overtake some Domains from another Provider whos Admin >made a mistake when he was writing the serials while a import of zones. > >Now all his Domains have Serial 2002110401- next November. >(he wanted to have April 4 and was setting November 11) >What will happen if we set the Serial to the actual date wehen we >overtake the Zones? > >What happens to cached Zones from these domains on other nameservers >if they will find an "older" Serial than they do have in their cache? >Does that expire and if yes witch of the values in the SOA is the >time for this expiration? > >Current Record: >$TTL 86400 >domain.com.
