Verifiably-insecure delegations (a zone cut with no DS records on the parent 
side) should not be a problem to resolve through a validating resolver. You 
shouldn't have to sign your child zones to make them work. It seems possible 
that something else was wrong?

There are a variety of other DNSSEC signers that can act as "bump in the wire" 
signers (where the "wire" is [AI]XFR). There are people who actually write that 
kind of software on this list and my hands-on with this stuff is a bit long in 
the tooth, so I won't try to speak for any of them.

It used to be quite common to glue DHCP servers to the DNS using dynamic 
updates, so that a DHCP server sends a DNS UPDATE when it wants to add or drop 
a binding to an address. If the DNS server handling the DNS UPDATE requests can 
also act as a DNSSEC signer, that might work for you. I have set up BIND9 like 
that before and it was fairly painless.
