Thanks for the search, but that's a BIND 7 from '96; this one's fun (HOWTO
become a totally small time DNS admin) and helpful too

I have been updating the serial numbers, I often forget, but then vi right
back in and do it before even testing. For a while I had "notify yes;" lines
in there too, but then found out that that's the default an removed them.
