Re: [DNSOP] valid value range for SOA REFRESH/RETRY/EXPIRE

[ Classification Level: PUBLIC ]

Apologies if this sounds condescending, but I haven't seen RFC 1982
mentioned in this thread so far.

While that RFC may not be the last word on the acceptable values of
SOA.SERIAL, in normal operation, it does contain some advice on how to
effectuate (or avoid) a "reset" of a zone's serial.
