I did a quick check of a passive DNS database, and I see evidence of a DNSKEY 
record, seen only once, and at one point in time ()

count           1
first seen      2014-09-25 02:51:55 -0000

Fascinating… so potentially only in DNS for whatever the interval is for checks 
by whatever passive DNS database this is.

Was this a temporary test? Or was it installed for a while, but the zone was 
dormant (not queried) for DNSKEY records.

It could have been a temporary test… although it seems odd to upload a DS 
record for a temporary test.  I’ve signed all sorts of zones…. but only 
uploaded DS records for ones where I knew the signing would stay around.

The DS seems to have been there for much longer:

first seen in zone file 2014-09-23 16:14:19 -0000
last seen in zone file  2015-03-09 16:25:34 -0000

Interesting confirmation of when the DS record was removed.

What I find curious is that the DS record appeared on 2014-09-23, two days 
before the DNSKEY record appeared in the database on 2014-09-25.  In my own 
experience it’s usually been the opposite.

I'll stop speculated now, and wait for info from definitive sources ..

Thanks for the information. It is useful.
