caching question

Hello,

as far as I know, when secondary nameserver asks primary if his zone is 
up-to-date, it just checks for serial number. What about 
non-authoritative (caching) nameserver?

I have a customer that argued that our DNS server had wrong data for his 
zone. It turned out that the customer forgot to increase serial number. 
How BIND acts in this case?

Thanks!
