alHello,

Browsing through the man page for named.conf, the directive auto-dnssec is stated to allow the following values:

auto-dnssec allow|maintain|create|off;

The "create" option caught my attention, because it indicated that bind could perform not only automatic roll-overs of prepared keys with the correct meta-data from a specified directory, but also create new ZSK and KSK keys as necessary.

After experimenting with this option, I found out that the latest BIND 9.9.4 considers it invalid, and googling further revealed to me that the directive had the "to-be-implemented" status in 9.9.7, only to be scraped altogether later (I found a changelog item mentioning removal of all referenced to it, so I consider the man-page reference to be an omission).

Still, why was this highly useful option scraped? Was the reason effort to discourage bad practices of having the KSK key on the same machine that serves as the primary master?

Thank you in advance for any insights provided.
