	You sign all versions of the zone.

	As for key management you can:

	* use the same keys in all views which makes mobile device
	  management simpler as there is no need to distribute keys.
	  Validating from the root will work in all cases though
	  there is still something to be said for distributing keys
	  for local zones locally as this prevents resolution
	  failures when the site is disconnected from the rest of
	  the world.

	* different keys per view.  You will need to distribute the
	  keys and for mobile devices they will need all sets of
	  keys as they see both the internal and external views
	  depending apon where they attach to the network and whether
	  there is a VPN active.  For fixed devices different keys
	  will cause data leakage to be rejected as the leaked data
	  won't validate.

	You can change strategy if you pick the wrong one.
