[Daniel Ryslink]

The reasons why not to use nslookup are summarized here:

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jonathan.deboynepollard/FGA/nslookup-flaws.html

I have seen ISC developers discourage from using it in tihis mailing 
list too.

As for the SERIAL in SOA, it's just a good practice, it gives you the 
information about when the zone was published, and creates less problems 
when you transfer hosting of the domain to another nameserver. Basically 
yes, it's just a number, but there is no real good reason not to use the 
recommended format.

Also note that I wrote "try to", and not "you absolutely must have to".
