I got this from some old messages from you on the subject of "no valid 
signature".

Perhaps tieing into my using the builtin root hints rather than 
explicitly including a root.hint stub?

Like the other person, once I changed from 'yes' to 'auto' I stopped 
logging these messages so I ASSuME that now all those zones are being 
validated.

No private root zones here.  At least that I know of!
