    <p>Yes - I think "automated" in-line signing would be useful in "dnssec-policy"
      run zones.<br>
    </p>
    <p>We didn't need this some versions of BIND ago ( I had to add it
      recently on a zone that I've been testing with - untouched from a
      year or so ago)<br>
    </p>
    <p>We don't generally edit the signed zone - just the unsigned zone
      (at least that is how this zone is modified!)<br>

      When introducing dnssec-policy, my goal was to reduce the dozens
      of DNSSEC related configuration options that are scattered
      throughout named.conf and contain them in one stanza. But some
      options are more difficult to be replaced than others.

        now a few times, in posts and in docs
        <br>
        <br>
        currently, WITH 'dnssec-policy' signing enabled & in-use,
        i've
        <br>
        <br>
             zone "example.com" IN {
        <br>
                 type master; file "namedb/primary/example.com.zone";
        <br>
                 dnssec-policy "test";
        <br>
                 inline-signing yes;
        <br>
                 ...
        <br>
        <br>
        the 'inline-signing yes;' is needed IN ADDITION to
        'dnssec-policy' in order to _not_ overwrite original zone
        files/data on signing.  e.g., with the config above
        <br>
        <br>
             cd namedb/primary/
        <br>
             ls -1 *example*
        <br>
                 example.com.zone          <==== THIS is the
        original, unsigned zone data
        <br>
                 example.com.zone.jbk
        <br>
                 example.com.zone.jnl
        <br>
                 example.com.zone.signed   <==== THIS is the
        signing-generated zone data, which gets propagated
        <br>
                 example.com.zone.signed.jnl
        <br>
        <br>
        without it, the original "example.com.zone" is overwritten with
        signed data.
        <br>
        <br>
        is there already config in, or planned for, 'dnssec-policy' that
        preserves that separate-file functionality, preserving the
        original?
        <br>
      </blockquote>
      <br>
      There are two ways of DNSSEC maintenance in BIND. One is the
      inline-signing approach, that preserves the original zone file.
      The other is to apply the changes directly to the zone (and zone
      file) and requires the zone to allow dynamic updates.
      <br>
      <br>
      Since the latest release dnssec-policy requires either
      inline-signing to be set to yes, or allow dynamic updates.
      <br>
      <br>
      I am thinking of adding inline-signing to dnssec-policy, do you
      think that would that be useful?
      <br>
