Cannot create A record issue

[Jsilliman]

The serial number gets updated in the logs, but not when I do a dig.
(21 vs 3-old)

example.com.           603817  IN      SOA     ns1.example.com.
root.localhost. 3 604800 86400 2419200 604800

Feb 20 10:26:08 server1 named[15739]: zone example.com/IN: loaded serial 21
