As described, we created a signing server only reachable internally for security reasons. This means all private keys are stored on this system and all signing is done there. Since pdns synthesizes the DNSSEC records it is not possible, besides via AXFR, to export and transfer these records. Therefore we decided to use LDNS for signing.

Understood. Of course AXFR is a fine export method, and the resulting file should be similar to your LDNS results.

Currently we have to create those empty traversals in order to get the correct NSEC records synthesized. Since signing with LDNS already gives us all necessary NSEC records it would be easier to just use those.

Can you clarify what you mean by empty traversals? What is your full procedure for serving a lens-signed zone file with PowerDNS today?

Kind regards,
