Check out BIND's named-checkzone and named-compilezone, depending on
exactly what you are looking for. There are a number of command line
parameters for fine tuning what you care about, and you can use the
return value to determine if the zone is valid or not.
As for the serial number, that is some simple scripting depending on
what value you use for the serial number.
