Hello All.

I have a pair of ISC BIND 9.12.3-P1 servers that are configured as slaves to a 
pair of Hidden Master servers.  The Hidden Masters are a proprietary product 
and unfortunately when used to sign the zones, the SOA records are not 
populated as expected.  As a result, I was looking into signing the zones 
within ISC BIND instead.  Reviewed the literature, came up with a plan and the 
required configuration changes.  However, things are not proceeding as I had 
hoped...

If I include required statements within the zone options BIND complained that 
update-policy local is not permitted in a zone of type slave (and failed to 
start):

                key-directory "keys/externals/{{ zone.zonename }}";
                inline-signing yes;
                auto-dnssec maintain;
                update-policy local;

So I switched it out for the allow-update { localhost; };, and BIND complained 
that allow-update  is not permitted in a zone of type slave (and failed to 
start).

So I changed my zone type from slave to master (recall that these BIND 
instances are intended to be slaved off of the Hidden Masters), and BIND 
complained that masters statements were not permitted in zones of type master 
(meaning that updates would not be accepted).

Is there a way for me to sign the zones on the slave servers, even though I 
intend to provision content into those same zones on the proprietary Hidden 
Masters?

Thanks.
