Half of this I agree with.  Half I do not.

The serial number is just a number, as long as you increment it, the
"format" is completely up to you.  I like using the epoch date if I'm
updating via script, or n+1 where n was the previous serial number if
I'm editing by hand.

Never, EVER use nslookup.
