Thank you, BC. this is very helpful because I kept expecting my master zones to just create the serial numbers necessary. When I took your suggestion and added them to those records for which serial numbers weren't automatically created, I noticed the numbers change with each change I made to the record.

This also helped me understand that, unless the record is changed, the serial number won't likely automatically change, either.

Finally, read the thread and think designating the domains as master (or slave) makes sense since not all nameservers work the same and my superslaves may not necessarily pick up changes, especially those buried in what some nameserver software considered supermasters--those that contain all of the records for the domain, including mirror IP addrresses, secondary NS, redirects, etc.

Now that I've gotten the basics down, I think I'll work on the more complex stuff like figuring out how configs that are native to bind (like using zone files to do round-robin) can work in PDNS.

Thank all of you for your input. We'll see if I can put it all together to solve this issue. :)

Hello.

I'm running PowerDNS 2.9.22 with PostgreSQL 8.3
SOAs which have a serial of 0 will not replicate to slaves (have to pdns_control notify test-zone.se) nor will it detect changes in zones.
Changing SOA serials manually works just fine.

Old thread from 2008 which seems to be dead: http://mailman.powerdns.com/pipermail/pdns-users/2008-September/005723.html
I'm very surprised to see that such a high-profile bug survives for almost a year?
