I am adding new domain from control panel. Around 2 hours later DNS doesn't reply the queries. When I look in /var/named/domain.com.db I saw that some domains has same serial number.Also /var/log/messages says forexample (one domain with serial number)
Apr 24 20:54:37 datafondns named[25850]: zone netrehberim.com/IN: sending notifies
(serial 2005040621).

I tried to change serials manualy but after I restart the service some domains
gets same serial again. Any suggestion?
 
Correct me if wrong, but I was under the impression serial numbers indicate different versions of the zone, they have to be unique within that zone, outside it, it doesn't matter. In plain English: The same serial for multiple domains doesn't matter.
However, it could still be related (although I doubt it).

When you do a 'dig @localhost <domain>' on the server in question, what do you get ?

When I try to resolve the domain you mentioned, it worked nicely.
What does a 'service named status' report ? (don't know exactly how to call this on a freebsd server, would be something along the lines of /etc/init.d/named status').

You're right, if what you meant was that serial numbers should be synchronized within the zone.

Different zones may certainly have different serial numbers.

Serial numbers are only used as part of the master -> slave zone-transfer system. They're not used for any other purpose.
