1. ### Description The `namedSerial` module uses the `Net::DNS` Perl module to get the SOA record (which contains the serial) for the given zone. It compares the serial found on the reference name server to all the other name servers, and reports problems on hosts that do not have the latest serial. The module does not perform recursive lookups, so it should only be used to check DNS servers that are authoritative for the zone. ### Examples To test the serial for nameservers for `site.org` against the reference server `ns1.site.org`:
            module namedSerial {
              zone site.org
              reference ns1.site.org
            }
