The keys used for rndc (in the named.conf and rndc.key) should not be
shared between multiple nameservers. If you wish to administer multiple
hosts from a single machine, you should make the keys for each
nameserver available to that machine.
You can do this with either individual key files or an rndc.conf
containing multiple keys/servers.
