dnssec-lookaside is off by default, and both DLV and the managed keys zone
relate to validation rather than serving signed zones.

The managed keys zone is used for RFC 5011 trust anchor rollover which you
can use with both DLV (via the "dnssec-lookaside auto;" setting) and the
root trust anchor (which requires a managed-keys clause as below). Bind
creates the managed keys zone if it isn't present, and the warning it logs
when it does this is benign.

DNSSEC validation on a resolver is fairly straightforward to set up now,
though people are still discovering the new mistakes they can make when
signing their zones so you may notice when your validating resolver
points this out...
