Simplistic serial number roll back

[John Thurston]

Agreed.

I'm not considering rolling back to old zone data, but considering 
changing the algorithm used to generate the serial number for new zone 
data. The new algorithm would result in the new data being published 
with serial numbers which would be ignored as being "older" if they were 
generated with the old algorithm. But I feel like we've wandered off the 
path.

My question is seeking clarification of the behavior of "rndc 
retransfer" - does this command perform the transfer, regardless of what 
serial number it has or finds?
