Yes, but there weren't any changes being made to that zone file. So it's not needed. You'd only have to do that if you'd changed records *in* it. All we were doing is adding domains that used it. If the file had changed from: $TTL 86400 @ IN SOA ns.localdomain. hostmaster.mail.localdomain. ( 200 ; serial 28800 ; refresh 7200 ; retry 604800 ; expire 86400 ; ttl ) IN NS ns.localdomain. To: $TTL 86400 @ IN SOA ns.localdomain. hostmaster.mail.localdomain. ( 200 ; serial 28800 ; refresh 7200 ; retry 604800 ; expire 86400 ; ttl ) IN NS ns.localdomain. www IN A 192.168.1.2 Or any other change of details within it. *THEN* you'd need to increment the serial number. By the way, using dates in serial numbers is only a recommendation. It's easy enough to just add "one" to the number. Using a date only makes it easy to see when the last change was done. -- (This box runs FC6, my others run FC4 & FC5, in case that's important to the thread.)
