Hi,

We are using the Auditor and find it a nice-to-have feature but can certainly live also without it. After all, with the auditor enabled OpenDNSSEC is more or less auditing itself, so some external checks independent from ODS should be carried out anyway.

Actually we execute some custom checks (in addition to Auditor) after the signing process triggered by the NotifyCommand option. Those checks include verifying that the chain of trust remains intact in case that the zone's DS record is published in the parent, that no delegation NS RRsets have been dropped during the signing process etc. Naturally, should the checks fail, the zone publishing process will be abandoned.

So, as the OpenDNSSEC architecture makes it rather easy to make custom sanity checks, I think that deprecating the Auditor wouldn't be a big issue.

Cheers,

Antti
