-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Please do NOT remove this feature. I love this behavior and use it at all our installs. It simply needs a bit better documentation.
It saves unnecessary effort and programming logic. Any humans updating records don't have to remember to update the serial for it to take effect (ie, less 'advanced' engineering resources are necessary to be able to maintain DNS data - think: "uh, I forgot") and we don't have to write in any coding logic to calculate and increment serials anytime records get updated programmatically (I know, I know - dead stupid simple to write...but still). If we wanted explicit control over serial values, we'd write our own code to enforce specifics...but since serial number values have no more meaning to us than simply triggering zone transfers/updates, the autoserial function rocks. Our other favorite feature is supermasters...making zone distribution dead simple as well...but I digress. Our vote at Node-Nine is to please leave the autoserial functionality intact.
