DESCRIPTION

A signer using a Net::DNS::SEC::Maint keydatabase. Users can a separate tool to configure DNSSEC keys in the keydatabase. The dnssigner will use this database to include a KEYSET in the apex and sign the zone using an appropriate zone and keysinging keys.

CONFIGURATION

The Net::DNS::SEC::Maint package commes with a utility called dnssecmaint-config that will assist you in generating a configuration file.
