[Dnsmasq-discuss] SOA serial increase

[Simon Kelley]

If you don't explicitly set the serial, then it should start at the
current epoch  time (ie seconds since 1/1/1970) which avoids the problem
unless you average more than one new DHCP lease per second.

Not sure which you are seeing it reseting to zero: no RTC and starting
dnsmasq before running NTP, maybe?
