DNS : SOA Serial

[Frank.P]

SOA Serial
SOA REFRESH
SOA RETRY
SOA EXPIRE
SOA MINIMUM TTL

This are all items of DNS and by default set that :

SOA Serial = 0
Pass SOA REFRESH = 10800. That is OK
Pass SOA RETRY = 3600. Looks ok
Pass SOA EXPIRE = 604800.Looks ok
Pass SOA MINIMUM TTL = 10800 is OK (RFC2308 recommends a value of 1-3 hours)

___________________

SOA Serial always is set to 0 and this is a wrong setting.

I have checked SOA template in Tools & Settings -> DNS Settings -> SOA Records Template and found that SOA MINIMUM TTL = 3 hours by default. What do you mean that SOA Serial = 0? Where is it? Maybe you need to enable "Use serial number format recommended by IETF and RIPE" option?

 

[Frank.P]

All items are right, but not this one : SOA Serial , because always set to 0 and if I check the box "Use serial number format recommended by IETF and RIPE" is the same.


For example :

http://intodns.com/mi-hosting.es
http://intodns.com/parallels.com

Try update SOA for this domain with

# /usr/local/psa/bin/dns --update-soa mi-hosting.es

and then check Serial number with

# dig mi-hosting.es soa +short

Sorry, but I can't reproduce it on my test environment and I haven't got a clue why you have 0 Serial number there. Therefore I suggest you contact Support Team.
