[Opendnssec-user] Reset serial number

[Magnus Olofsson]

Hello,

By accident we added one digit too much to our serial number and the serial number lost the date format. How can we reset the number in OpenDNSSEC and BIND?

Serial numbers wrap around. In your input zone set the serial high (like
2^32-1) but make sure the increment does not exceed 2^31-1. Make sure
the change is picked up. Then wrap around and set the serial to the
value you want (again make sure the increment doesn't exceed 2^31-1).
OpenDNSSEC should pick up this change.

Yuri
