-          Zone serial numbers are just numbers &mdash; they aren't date
-          related.  A lot of people set them to a number that represents a
-          date, usually of the form YYYYMMDDRR. A number of people
-          tested these numbers for Y2K compliance and set the number
-          to the year 2000 to see if it would work. They then tried to restore
-          the old serial number. This caused problems because serial
-          numbers are used to indicate that a zone has been updated. If the
-          serial number on the slave server is lower than the serial number
-          on the master, the slave server will attempt to update its copy of
-          the zone.
