I'm not 100% on how the gui decides on the serial, but you can ssh in and 
change them manually.
Go into /etc/named
and you'll see all the pri. files in there.
Open one up with pico or vi and look for the serial, increment as needed.
Although i'm not sure if the cobalt GUI will read this back in and increment, 
or if it uses another number stored within its internal db's or somewhere 
else.
