If you set the jitter equal to the relative end time, you are spreading
the expiry times uniformly between now and then, so you should expect
a few of them to be be "almost nothing". You should be setting jitter
so that the earliest expiry time is (comfortably) later than the next
time you expect to resign the zone in the same way. (I am assuming that
you are using offline signing only.)
