<p>Agreed. <br>
</p>
<p>I'm not considering rolling back to old zone data, but
considering changing the algorithm used to generate the serial
number for new zone data. The new algorithm would result in the
new data being published with serial numbers which would be
ignored as being "older" if they were generated with the old
algorithm. But I feel like we've wandered off the path.<br>
</p>
<p>My question is seeking clarification of the behavior of "rndc
retransfer" - does this command perform the transfer, regardless
of what serial number it has or finds?<br>
