because IXFR and NOTIFY and UPDATE use serial numbers, the DNS
protocol itself is aware of serial numbers. i hope that any
recognition of non-traditional serial numbers will be an optional
addition to the RRSERIAL response, and that if a zone has no actual
serial number (so, it cannot participate in IXFR, NOTIFY, and UPDATE)
the RRSERIAL value will just be a magic number like zero, or just
missing altogether.
I fail to understand what you mean, can you elaborate?
I will try to rephrase myself for clarity:
"Let's make this draft _also_ usable for debugging e.g. PowerDNS and
multi-master BIND."
I cannot see any technical reason not to support it. Moreover this draft
does not touch notify or transfer protocol in any way - which is why
your e-mail confuses me.
if a debugging method is needed let's add one but let's decide in
advance not to use that debugging method in production or to overload a
production method with non-production data.
you probably want a text record at example.com.zone.server (chaos class)
or similar. it's a good idea and will help, but should not be stuffed
into any in-band response such as the rrserial option.
