The problem is that we are trying to setup the reverse DNS for the
emulab machines. We never ntocied this but reverse DNS lookup never
worked for us. This was becasue the Emulab subnet was pasrt our
department IP space and we just had reverse looks for boss and ops. This
DNS server(department) was the SOA and provided updates to other servers
and we used the date as the serial number ex. 2009121400 . This is
obviously much higher that what boss has. If we just bump it up to that
number , our problems should be resolved.

Is there an easy way to bump up the serial number in the named db
files. It is done currently by the named_conf script in
/usr/tesbed/sbin. But it generates a serial number that is way low that
what is required for us to propagate the DNS updates to our other DNS
servers.
Hmm, I guess we were hoping that a unix timestamp would be a big
enough number for people.
Is the serial number still 32 bits? If so, we got 2 more bits to
turn on.
