<p class="MsoNormal">We are currently evaluating a DNSSEC implementation. We have several static zones that we would like to implement first. We are currently using ISC Bind 9.7.4 – In the test environment (1) Authoritative dns server and (1) Resolver dns
server, both running RHEL 5.7. We do have an on-hold Opendnssec server w/softhsm (we are trying to look at the built-in utilities of isc bind first).<o:p></o:p></p>

</span></span><![endif]>Is there any way to have the zsk be auto-generated based upon the inactive date listed in the zsk meta-data? I know we can pre-publish and then use dnssec-settime to change the meta-data, but still very hands-on.<o:p></o:p></p>
