Automatic signing like that requires the storing of private keys on the
server.  To each his own but that is IMHO not a good thing and doing it
manually is not so difficult or time consuming.

I set my signings to expire in 40 days and have a cron job to send a
notification that it is time to resign.  I then place private keys on
the server (keeping them offline and encrypted until that point), run a
small script that does the signing for each zone and then delete the
private keys. 

One can get a bit more involved with cleaning up any traces your private
keys leave behind that could be compromised. 

The real pain with DNSSEC is when it comes time to roll  the keys.
