Wo what's a serial number, and what does it have to do with DNS propogation? === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats].

Incrementing the serial number is like incrementing a version. Oh, and it's "propAgation" (for you and a few others). ;-) Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."

For made-up comPound words I'm used to it, but for someThing that exIsted beFore the interNet I didn't exPect it. Note: Does anyone else find it really hard to read the above? My internal monologue sounds like George W. Bush trying to read that. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats].

Post #265,143 by jake123 8/17/06 10:15:45 AM Reply	Yes Also, another DNS will ask the authoritative DNS for its current serial number to decide if it needs to retrieve the whole zone again or not. --\n-------------------------------------------------------------------\n* Jack Troughton jake at consultron.ca \n [link\|http://consultron.ca\|http://consultron.ca] [link\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca] \n Kingston Ontario Canada [link\|news://news.consultron.ca\|news://news.consultron.ca] *\n-------------------------------------------------------------------
