Hello ! I created an account with WHM and when I test the domain with mxtoolbox.com, I got some warnings in the DNS section : SOA Serial Number Format is Invalid SOA Expire Value out of recommended range I would like to know if I can change those values manually in the DNS zone for domains that already exists in WHM. What would you recommended to me ? For future added domains, could WHM generate those values "correctly" to be fully accepted by the tests ? Thanks in advance ! Trucmuche

  Hello, The default entries are suitable. Keep in mind those are warnings, and not actual errors with your DNS zone. That being said, you can modify existing entries via: "WHM >> DNS Functions >> Edit DNS Zone" You can edit the zone templates for new domain names via: "WHM >> DNS Functions >> Edit Zone Templates" Thank you.

  MXToolbox also gave me those errors. I modified the expiry values, and seen no detrimental effects. Refresh 43200 Retry 7200 expire 1209600 minimum ttl 86400 My serial number looks like it might be based on a date. 4 digit year 2 digit month 2 digit day 2 more digits eg 2014092001, i'm not sure where or how this was generated, maybe i made it up based on this.

  So you are saying to manually edit the dns each time to make the SOA match? This happens on clusters.

  Could you clarify what you mean by "make the SOA match"? For instance, is there a specific issue you are experiencing with SOA records or are you referring to the warning messages from the third-party DNS record check? Thank you.
