This only answers a small portion of your overall question, but one easy
way to get a zonefile into the format that zkt wants is to use
named-compilezone in the BIND distribution.  named-compilezone (simply a
different invocation of named-checkzone) also does sanity/syntax
checking on the zone itself, so that's an added benefit.  When I worked
at UC Berkeley, I used zkt for the signing and key management of
hundreds of zones, and adding named-compilezone to all of the perl goo
that manages zonefiles and builds them out from the backend database was
really easy.  Then all I had to do was let zkt do its magic.

Some reasonable invocation of 'named-compilezone -F text' will work for
this purpose.

Yeah, we already do that (UW Madison CoE). The rest of it is reorganizing things into a hierarchical directory structure, which isn't that hard to do, but I didn't want to go through the effort if I could avoid it. Right now everything is just in one flat directory and since I never need to go look at things manually, I don't really care about how well it's organized. It also turns out to be more along the lines of what the smart signing dnssec-signzone option wants, but then I have to implement all of the key management policies on my own which is a pain to parse, code up, and automate according to RFC standards - which is what zkt seems to have done already (more or less).

So, did you use zkt to do the signing or just the key management? Mind sharing some of the details (if you still have them)?

Thanks,
Brian
