question about serial numbers

[Edward L. May II]

In past postings, which I wish I could remember, there is a number that you
can set your serial number to, which you can then start numbering over.  It
was in past messages, if someone doesn't have or won't re-share that
knowledge, it should be in the archives.

Your serial numbers are not y2000 compliant, which is especially bad if you
have automated systems updating your zone files.

I use YYYYMMDDNN.  Works fine, has for years.
