[Pdns-users] Auto SOA record serial

[Nick Douma]

Hi,

According to the docs, if I use the value 0 in place of the serial value
in the content of a SOA record, PowerDNS should retrieve the highest
change_date of all the records in that zone and use that as serial. My
record looks as follows:

example.com SOA ns1.example.net webmaster.example.net 0 16384 2048
1048576 900

When I retrieve the record using dig, I see:

$ host -t SOA example.com
oppai.nl has SOA record ns1.example.net webmaster.example.net 0 16384
2048 1048576 900
$ dig -t SOA example.com

; <<>> DiG 9.7.3 <<>> -t SOA example.com
;; global options: +cmd

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, am I missing a configuration option
somewhere?

Kind regards,

Nick Douma
