Hi Paul,

The core design of OpenDNSSEC exists of two daemons, the enforcer and
the signer. The enforcer takes care of key management, the signer takes
care of zone management. We made the decision that the enforcer should
not have access to the zone contents. But some zone parameters are
needed in order to implement the correct timings for key rollovers. The
SOA TTL is used to calculate the time RRsets can end up in the NCACHE:

        min(SOA TTL, SOA MINIMUM)

Best regards,
  Matthijs
