The zone is signed if a signature is about to expire. It is not determined by dnskey-ttl. I would exclude these files from tripwire because they need to written out anyway.


Then, why does it have to rewrite it every day, if the zone didn't change? dnskey-ttl is the only one-day timing thing, except parent-ds-ttl.

It shouldn't. It should only rewrite if there are changes, for example due to zone updates or due to resigning.


BTW, DS RR has a ttl of 10800 at the parent; should I copy that to parent-ds-ttl in my policy definition?

Yes.

To make sure the key rollovers are timed correctly.

In addition, I took a closer look at your policy.

    publish-safety P3W;
    retire-safety P3W;

The publish-safety and retire-safety are intended to be small margins added to rollover timings to give some extra time to cover unforeseen events. The defaults are 1 hour. Maybe you have good reasons to set them to 3 weeks, but it is remarkably long.
