given the following settings in the options stanza [collected from named-checkconf -p]:

dnssec-validation auto;
dnssec-lookaside auto;
bindkeys-file "/etc/bind/keys/dnssec/bind.keys";

i'm trying to understand portions of the following log snippit, following rndc reload/reconfig:

17-Jan-2012 22:42:37.255 general: info: received control channel command 'reload'
17-Jan-2012 22:42:37.255 general: info: loading configuration from '/etc/bind/named.conf'

…

it seems to happily load the root key and the dlv key from /etc/bind/keys/dnssec/bind.keys, but then subsequently prints warnings.  it prints the same warning messages if i omit the bindkeys-file directive, which seems to perhaps indicate that it's reading the file, as it says, but then not using the data?  also, why are these messages only printed upon rndc reload/reconfig, and not when named first starts?  this is bind 9.8.1, courtesy of debian's package repository.
