Title: Using time stamps in a template?

I am looking for a way to put a time stamp into a template, *without* causing the file to be regenerated on each chef run. I want the time stamp to be updated only if something else has changed in the template, as well.

The use case is for generating a DNS zone file and updating the serial number only when there was a change.

Is there a common solution for this problem in Chef?
