I thought a change to serial had to be higher then what it was > set to previously? :( Depending on the math it may be higher, or it may be lower. If you control the masters and slaves your best bet is to simply fix the master, delete the zone files on the slaves and reload them all. If you don't control the slaves, dig the zones to see what they think the serial is, and follow the procedure in DNS and BIND to rotate the serials. It can be done in 2 or 3 cycles, depending on how lucky you get. Good luck, Doug -- "Pain heals. Chicks dig scars.
