Subject: RE: Unix Reverse DNS

If they're using some CGI or other utility to update DNS (rather than updating db files directly), they could be hosing your serial number periodically due to a bug. Just an idea. This would explain "scratching" your zones. Alternately, maybe they're running a slave to another ISP's master with a two-week refresh. Disclosure: I didn't look at the output you sent but simply went with blind theory.
