Bill,

I am trying to achieve following, have intermapper two different digs , one - 
dig @master-dns-server-address . SOA  grab the serial "2009081901" and other 
dig @slave-dns-server-address . SOA and grab the serial from there, if they 
match everything is great. If the serial # in master > slave --- there is 
mismatch and for some reason the slave dns server is not updating in timely 
manner.

I believe this would have been an awesome feature if Intermapper could provide 
as a feature , mis-matching SOA on master and slave (s) is a very important 
thing that needs monitoring for many .

>>> insert your peer-pressuring supportive words here <<< :)

cheers

Mehmet
