In addition to what the other poster said about the zone file being the problem, it's important to understand that there is no "valid serial for today". The use of that serial format is a common convention, but has absolutely no significance to the named. What it cares about is that the serial number be increasing. So if you were trying random numbers in the last field, that won't work either. They need to be increasing, whether sequentially or not.
