Maybe to state a little clearer; the dnssec-keymgr is for the automation of creation and date management of keys. All of the actual signing does not require the new python bit. If you're happy managing your keys with dnssec-keygen and dnssec-settime, you can continue using those (non-python)

Ugh. Not wanting to packet capture. :) [Yeah, not that hard, but it always seems to suck up so much time - it's like the black hole for time, I think.] But, yeah, absent some other smoking gun, that's probably where we're headed. As for rate limiting - "rndc recursing" didn't show anything

Whilst you mentioned 150 seats and you mentioned 'no firewalls', you didn't mention the network topology at all, in particular is traffic passing through a commercial firewall/router (hardware or virtualized) to get to the DNS server? If there is, it may be worth checking what packet inspection
