8de99b4c89d4ed4292a7dca42dd8a96b9a7c456fdgaudet ICANN is in the process of introducing a new Key Signing Key (KSK) for
8de99b4c89d4ed4292a7dca42dd8a96b9a7c456fdgaudet the global root zone. BIND has multiple methods for managing DNSSEC
8de99b4c89d4ed4292a7dca42dd8a96b9a7c456fdgaudet trust anchors, with somewhat different behaviors. If the root
40a5b7189dbbb28e107bf008ee625f2f0142c2ccdgaudet key is configured using the <span class="command"><strong>managed-keys</strong></span>
0b0a5225c5ed94b9f689839a14842ad4a24215e9dgaudet statement, or if the pre-configured root key is enabled by using
0b0a5225c5ed94b9f689839a14842ad4a24215e9dgaudet <span class="command"><strong>dnssec-validation auto</strong></span>, then BIND can keep keys up
0b0a5225c5ed94b9f689839a14842ad4a24215e9dgaudet to date automatically. Servers configured in this way should have
0b0a5225c5ed94b9f689839a14842ad4a24215e9dgaudet begun the process of rolling to the new key when it was published in
0b0a5225c5ed94b9f689839a14842ad4a24215e9dgaudet the root zone in July 2017. However, keys configured using the
f824925ac58ff729289c017235eeb3bdd21ec3a2stoddard <span class="command"><strong>trusted-keys</strong></span> statement are not automatically
f824925ac58ff729289c017235eeb3bdd21ec3a2stoddard maintained. If your server is performing DNSSEC validation and is
f824925ac58ff729289c017235eeb3bdd21ec3a2stoddard configured using <span class="command"><strong>trusted-keys</strong></span>, you are advised to
f824925ac58ff729289c017235eeb3bdd21ec3a2stoddard change your configuration before the root zone begins signing with
2aae6faee508221efbeaba5547ca79b7a20ef047stoddard the new KSK. This is currently scheduled for October 11, 2017.
