I need some help in understand this one..

A disgruntled employee set up duplicate DNS for our domain on his =
personal server and convinced uu.net to update their DNS records to =
point to his server as our secondary DNS server.  The record on his =
server has a different serial number than ours does, and we've contacted =
uu.net to point the domain back where it belonged. =20

The question is how do I get the records to propagate rapidly?? he set =
the expire time on the records he sent out extremely high.  Is there a =
way to force an update?? And what do the serial numbers really do?

Thanks.
