Using Bind 8.2.2-P5 on Solaris 7 for Primary and all Secondary servers.
We are transitioning from a hosts2ns style zone load to Dynamic DNS across
the board, but during the transition period we are going to have both.
Which means I need to be able to run hosts2ns to auto generate our main
domain and accept Dynamic Updates after this point as well.
I can do this, but I have found a problem which I need some advise on.
Each Dynamic Update seems to increment the serial number for the zone
and I'm going to run out of serial numbers fast using the current
strategy:
2000051100 ; Serial
; YYYYMMDDCC ; Year, Month, Day, Count
Any advise on how to solve this would be greatly appreciated, and please
don't just say "don't mix static and dynamic". That isn't a possibility
for us. We have to keep everything in the same domain. I have all of
the problems for this worked out, except for this last one.
Is there a limit to the number of digits I can use for the serial number?
Can I just make it:
2000051100000 ; Serial
; YYYYMMDDCCCCC ; Year, Month, Day, Count
Thanks In Advance,
Brian
