Jukka,

Some odds n ends in no particular order:

1. DNSSEC was designed for external zones

2. Use delv instead of dig when troubleshooting DNSSEC and play around with 
these options:

+rtrace (resolver)
+vtrace (validation)

You want to see “fully validated”.

3. Commit these values to memory so that when using delve you will know what is 
being returned:

256 = ZSK
257 = KSK

4. Always remember that the way that records are signed is linear and it will 
help with situational awareness:

A DNS record is signed by the ZSK and the ZSK is signed by KSK.  And a DSKEY is 
created by the KSK.

5. DNSSEC takes a small amount of maintenance and housekeeping to manage key 
rollovers.

Rolling a ZSK is purely an internal operation and requires no interaction with 
the outside world.  Roll monthly.
Rolling a KSK requires a new DS record to be published to the parent.  Roll 
yearly.

6. Use NSEC3.

Hope that helps!

John

Aihe: DNSSEC basic information

I am finally diging in to DNSSEC, updating out BIND 9.14.5 servers to support 
it, both resolving & signing, secure zone transfers etc.

I just have read the DNSSEC Mastery by Michael W. Lucas from year 2013, and my 
question basically is, is this information from 6 years back still valid, or 
hopelessly outdated?  I do suppose in six years things have already changed a 
lot.  And while started testing some things, noticed they are not working as 
expected, as presented in the book.  Like when upgraded our servers to DNSSEC 
resolving, the only zone I can find the ad flag set is paypal.com, example 
isc.org does not show it.

Also, with current status of DNSSEC, is it still recommend/required to have 
separate authoritative & recursive servers, DNSSEC-wise?

DLV functionality seems to be dropped from the current BIND too?

And so on... would like to know how outdated this book is, what has changed 
since 2013, and also, any hints for a good DNSSEC tutorials with todays BIND 
versions.

Jukka
