Date not updated in serial number

Hi, 
You can use the "serial-update-method" key-word to define how BIND will update 
the serial number in a dynamic zone's SOA record. 

It may be defined within "options", views, and zones. 

Legal values are "date", "increment", and "unixtime". 
The default setting is "serial-update-method increment;" 

For more details, see:

Subject: Date not updated in serial number 

Hi, 

I have configured Dynamic DNS in bind and I see the date in the serial number is not getting updated in the recommended format YYYYMMDDnn. 

Yesterday I created the DDNS zone and the serial number was 2024092501 but today when the zone is updated, it just increments to 2024092502 and not 2024092600? 

Can we configure bind to make the serial update in recommended format? 

Thank you.
