I don't have a problem with that. It's just that I find the current way
BIND works a bit tricky. I would feel more comfortable with an explicit
configuration-option in named.conf, rather than a seperate action (being
'rndc signing -nsec3param').

(In the case I *really* want NSEC3 that is, naturally)
