The current serial number format is YYYYMMDDNN.  (The zones are

format will be the UTC time at the moment of zone generation encoded
as the number of seconds since the UNIX epoch. (00:00:00 GMT, 1
January 1970.)  For example, a zone published on 9 February 2004 might
have serial number "1076370400".  The .com and .net zones will still
be generated twice per day, but this serial number format change is in
preparation for potentially more frequent updates to these zones.

stuid question, but isn't 2004010101 (today) > 1076370400 (9 Feb 2004)?
