<p class="MsoNormal">For some time now I’ve been wanting to create my first DNSSEC-enabled zone, but I struggled to find an up-to-date guide that would walk me through the process. So to that end I finally bit the bullet and spent some time this weekend creating
my first DNSSEC zone and writing a HOWTO article along the way: <b>A Beginner’s Guide to DNSSEC with BIND 9</b>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If anyone else on this list has been as reticent as me to dip their toe in the DNSSEC waters then now might be the time – it’s actually quite a simple process provided you follow the instructions carefully and watch your log files for any
errors along the way. I’ve published my HOWTO guide here: <a href="https://www.talkdns.com/articles/a-beginners-guide-to-dnssec-with-bind-9/">
https://www.talkdns.com/articles/a-beginners-guide-to-dnssec-with-bind-9/</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If any DNSSEC experts have a moment to read over the guide I would be very grateful for any comments or corrections, most especially if I have made any errors in terminology or fundamental DNSSEC concepts. My guide doesn’t (yet!) touch
on key rollover nor trust anchors, and to be honest I don’t presently understand either of those topics, so that’ll be the focus of a future update.<o:p></o:p></p>
