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