I compiled and installed bind 9.9.0 rc2 on Ubuntu Oneiric x64. The zone 
jaspain.net used for testing was configured as a master zone with update-policy 
local, auto-dnssec maintain, and inline-signing yes. I tested by making changes 
to the unsigned zone, and used named-checkzone to output the unsigned and 
signed zone files before and after each change.

1. In the first test I used nsupdate -l to add an A record to the unsigned 
zone. Nsupdate added the record and incremented the serial number of the 
unsigned zone. The signed zone was updated appropriately including a serial 
number increment, resignature of the SOA, addition of the new A record, signing 
of the new A record, and addition/modification/signing of NSEC records. This is 
consistent with the results with bind 9.9.0rc1.

2. Prior to the second test, in an attempt to get rid of the journal files, I 
issued the command "rndc sync -clear jaspain.net". This generated an error 
"rndc: 'sync' failed: unknown class/type. I found that "rndc sync" and "rndc 
sync jaspain.net" both worked, so I think rndc just doesn't recognize the 
-clear parameter as described in the rndc usage message. With the journal files 
still present, I decided to use "rndc freeze jaspain.net" prior to the next 
test.

3. With the zone frozen, I manually edited the unsigned zone file, and my only 
change was to increment the SOA serial number. I then issued the command "rndc 
reload". In the interest of saving time, I issued "rndc sync" to merge the 
journal file into the signed zone file. The unsigned zone file was unchanged 
after the reload. The signed zone file had its serial number incremented and 
the SOA record was resigned. I believe this demonstrates that the issue 
described in the thread "bind 9.9 & inline-signing issue.." for bind 9.9.0rc1 
has been fixed in rc2.

4. Finally with regard to ZSK rollover testing, my zone jaspain.us has several 
RRSIGS that will be expiring on February 8. Currently ZSKs 30795 and 55158 are 
published, and 55158 is active. I am altering the metadata so that ZSK 30795 
goes active on February 1, and 55158 goes inactive on February 2. By February 
9, it should be apparent whether or not the inline-signing-related key rollover 
problem, for which you previously sent me an rc1 patch, has stayed fixed in rc2.
