- <p>
- The best solution to solving installation and
- configuration issues is to take preventative measures by setting
- up logging files beforehand. The log files provide a
- source of hints and information that can be used to figure out
- what went wrong and how to fix the problem.

- <p>
- Zone serial numbers are just numbers — they aren't
- date related. A lot of people set them to a number that
- represents a date, usually of the form YYYYMMDDRR.
- Occasionally they will make a mistake and set them to a
- "date in the future" then try to correct them by setting
- them to the "current date". This causes 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.
- </p>
- <p>
- Setting the serial number to a lower number on the master
- server than the slave server means that the slave will not perform
- updates to its copy of the zone.
- </p>
- <p>
- The solution to this is to add 2147483647 (2^31-1) to the
- number, reload the zone and make sure all slaves have updated to
- the new zone serial number, then reset the number to what you want
- it to be, and reload the zone again.
