Hi Klaus, 

You are correct - the OpenDNSSSEC implementation assumes only one signer 
daemon. 

If your use case is High availability then have a look at our documentation 
pages:

- this has a couple of presentations on High availability user configurations 
including one from CIRA
https://wiki.opendnssec.org/display/USERDOCREF/OpenDNSSEC+User+Reference+Material

- this is a very general page on things to consider when running in High 
availability mode (and is still under construction)
https://wiki.opendnssec.org/display/DOCS/High+availability

Regards

Sara.
