COMMENTS
For February, the number of days will be 28 only, as year cannot be a leap year for DDMMYY to be a prime number.
The sequence is finite, with 14 terms. The largest term is a(14)=91019.
There are no 6-digit solutions - the month must be 11 and the day cannot start with a 0 or a 2. Nor can the day start with a 1 because this makes the palindrome of the form 1x11x1 - divisible by 1001. This leaves only 301103, which is 11*31*883, so not prime. - Jon Perry, Sep 23 2013
EXAMPLE
a(1)=10103 is prime and represents a date in DDMMYY format as 010103.
