Found out this morning it was an error in the way we were reporting file times. Everything is good now. We were piping modified times out to an HTML page every hour then we check if the page had changed at all in the last 12 hours.

Cool. BTW if you want to know the actual timestamp of the data, the best way is to look at the zone file serial number. Those are generated from the number of epoch seconds at UTC when the file is created. For example:

% dig multi.surbl.org soa

[...] multi.surbl.org. 15M IN SOA a.surbl.org. zone.surbl.org. ( 1115680902 ; serial 10M ; refresh 5M ; retry 1W ; expiry 15M ) ; minimum

% % date -u -r 1115680902 Mon May 9 23:21:42 UTC 2005
