[knot-dns-users] Re: zonefile-sync and strange SOA serial

Hi Daniel, That's good to know. We'll stick with difference-no-serial and journal-content: all Ok, now I understand. One question regarding the serial: Is it possible to set or increase the serial (when using difference-no-serial) in some other way than simply changing the zone and reloading? We're using serial-policy: dateserial, and we're running two signers, one active and one backup. The hidden primaries get updates from the active signer. If we need to change from the active to the backup the serial will probably be out-of-sync and possibly some way off. If the backup signer has a lower serial then what the prior active signer had, then we'll need to fix it so the primaries start to accept updates from it. I think the best way would be to change to serial-policy: unixtime, that way every zone update is certain to increase the serial, but this will require working with 3rd parties providing secondaries, to force the first update after switching to unixtime. I'd be interested to know if there was some way to do something like `knotc zone-set-serial pp.is 2022012110` to force a new serial? (I've combed through knotc man page, I know it's not there....) .einar
