[Pdns-users] Don't set the SOA serial to 0 when using Generic MySQL

[Simon Østengaard]

This is form the release notes of powerdns 2.9.5:

"Generic backends do not support SOA serial autocalculation, it appears.
Could lead to random SOA serials in case of a serial of 0 in the database.
Fixed so that 0 stays zero in that case. Don't set the SOA serial to 0 when
using Generic MySQL or Generic PostgreSQL!"

It seems that I have to set the SOA serial manually for all my zones if I
want to use the gmysql backend. Is there no solution for autocalculating
these serial number for this backend?

When I try to set the serial to 0 the server gives me the current unix time
as the serial in the answer.
