    I am finally getting around to setting up DNSSEC on my server (Bind
    9.16).  I found some instructions online and was able to set up
    one of
    my zones and confirm that the keys are being returned. However,
    after
    doing a bit more testing I ran into a couple of issues.

    I am using the recommended setup with the "dnssec-policy default"
    and
    "inline-signing yes".

    The first issue is that my server uses a few views to give
    different IPs
    based on which network the request comes from.  I found that if I
    point
    the zones in the different views to the same key directory, there
    are no
    errors and all views return the same keys when I test with dig. 
    So this
    appears to work.  Are there any gotchas that might come up with
    this setup?

I think this will work because the key files include the zone name, so they will be unique.
I've been doing the same for years and never had any issues.


    The second issue is that I have multiple zones that all point to the
    same file since those domains all go to the same set of servers.
    Right
    now, I am using the same zone file for all of them.  This works fine
    currently, but when I try to enable DNSSEC for those domains, I
    get an
    error "writable file ... already in use".  The simple answer
    would be to
    make a unique file for each zone, however I would rather keep a
    single
    file updated instead of having to make changes to all of the
    individual
    files whenever something changes with those servers.  So far, the
    only
    other solution I've found is to manage the keys manually, which
    seems to
    add quite a bit of complexity to the setup.  Is there a better
    way to do
    this?


I am using "in-view" so I only have one copy of the zone in memory and on disk.
In the 'oncampus' view:
zone "umich.edu <http://umich.edu>" {
    type slave;
    file "oncampus/edu.umich";
    masters {
       "DNS123";
   };
};

And in the other view:
 zone "umich.edu <http://umich.edu>" {
       in-view "oncampus";
};

This isn't quite the same as my setup.  I don't think there are any files shared between views.  The issue is that within one view, multiple zones will point to the same file.  For example:

zone "test.com" {
    type master;
    file "db.test.com";
};
zone "test2.com" {
    type master;
    file "db.test.com";
};

I would like to have DNSSEC active on both domains, but since they are sharing a file, Bind complains about it.

If you are using Linux, I'd suggest looking at using filesystem links so that you can have separate files that share the same content. (See "man ln".)
