Package: pdns-server
Version: 2.9.20-7
Severity: important

>From a zonefile:
@       IN      SOA     ns.A-Eskwadraat.nl. sysop.A-Eskwadraat.nl. (
                                2006110903      ; serial
                                        6H      ; refresh, seconds
                                        30M     ; retry, seconds
                                        4W      ; expire, seconds
                                        1D )    ; minimum, seconds

However:

foo:/etc/powerdns# dig +short a-eskwadraat.nl SOA @localhost
ns.a-eskwadraat.nl. sysop.a-eskwadraat.nl. 2006110903 21600 72576000 2419200 
86400

72576000 == 30 * 28 * 24 * 3600

Using bind, this is, with the exact same zonefile:
ns.a-eskwadraat.nl. sysop.a-eskwadraat.nl. 2006110903 21600 1800 2419200 86400

This (M==months, not minutes) is an interesting difference of interpretation,
potentially causing (as in my case) several refresh values to suddenly be 140
days instead of 5 minutes.  Because notifies are not reliable, this is
potentially a hard thing fix, hence severity important.
