Hi Magnus,

Serial numbers wrap around. In your input zone set the serial high (like
2^32-1) but make sure the increment does not exceed 2^31-1. Make sure
the change is picked up. Then wrap around and set the serial to the
value you want (again make sure the increment doesn't exceed 2^31-1).
OpenDNSSEC should pick up this change.

Regards,
Yuri
