I use an unsigned hidden master I maintain from inside my local network. This feeds a secondary server where the signing is done and it acts as a master to other secondaries. Works well. Started as an experiment and works well enough I've left it alone.

Hidden master >> DNSSEC signing server (slave to hidden, master to secondariers) >> secondaries

Here's a config block

zone example.com {
        type slave;
        masters                 { a.b.c.d key master-dns01; };
        file                         "slave/example.com.db";
        key-directory           "keys/example.com";
        dnssec-policy           domain-policy;
        inline-signing          yes;
        zone-statistics         yes;
};

If you're interested in more specifics, I'm happy to share. Ping me off-list

hi mark

hidden primary can not sign.  can the public primary which fetches
from it, and happens to be primary for the parent zone, do bitw
signing?
In-line signing is the concept you are looking for and yes named
supports it.

i know bind9 does bitw.  happy to learn it is called inline-signing.

sorry not to have been clear.  i want to sign a zone where the server is
secondary.  i.e. may i use

  zone "foo.bar" {
    type slave;
    file "secondary/bar.foo";  // yes, i like dir list to alpha sort
    ...
    auto-dnssec maintain;
    inline-signing yes;
    }

looking at example 2 in https://kb.isc.org/docs/aa-00626, i think that
this will work, i.e. there will be a `secondary/bar.foo.signed` from
which i can extract the DS needed by the parent zone, the server will
send notifies etc.
