i know bind9 does bitw.  happy to learn it is called inline-signing.

sorry not to have been clear.  i want to sign a zone where the server is
secondary.  i.e. may i use

  zone "foo.bar" {
    type slave;
    file "secondary/bar.foo";  // yes, i like dir list to alpha sort
    ...
    auto-dnssec maintain;
    inline-signing yes;
    }
    
looking at example 2 in https://kb.isc.org/docs/aa-00626, i think that
this will work, i.e. there will be a `secondary/bar.foo.signed` from
which i can extract the DS needed by the parent zone, the server will
send notifies etc.
