DNSSec Setup ARM Manual vs KB article on adding inline-signing for non-dynamic zones

[Ondřej Surý]

Well, you didn’t say which version of ARM did you follow. Your ARM needs to match the BIND 9 version - you need to ask RH for the matching ARM.

And of course, if you find discrepancies between the BIND 9 version as provided by ISC and matching ARM as provided by ISC, we would be happy to fix it.

And I need to mention that ISC provides packages for RHEL and generally recommends that user use latest upstream version of the BIND 9.

I followed the "Easy-Start Guide for Signing Authoritative Zones" in the ARM manual after manually signing my test zone for my starting point.  The ARM says you ONLY need to specify "dnssec-policy default;" in your zone, view or options clause for the newer way to sign things.  I completed the steps successfully (except for one command that no longer works as shown in the manual which is not important).  I cannot find anything broken with BIND 9.16.23-RH (Extended Support Version) when I follow the ARM manual.

Don't need or design anything other than a good ole static zone since an entry is changed like 3-4 times per year.  The newest ARM has a new section that mentions needing to setup Dynamic DNS but it also states that BIND previously used implicit inline-signing.  It is really difficult for a casual observer to sort this out.  No reference to what they mean by "previously".
