Well, sort of. As per default settings, BIND does not appear to create a
key signing key (KSK) / zone signing key (ZSK) pair, but instead one
single key to sign each zone. That's sufficient from a technical
perspective, but whenever that combined key changes, some key material
must be refreshed in the parent zone.

I highly recommend investing the extra time and effort to generate
separate KSK and ZSK for each DNSSEC-protected domain. The KSK data will
need to be published once, but you can roll your ZSK whenever you please
without contacting a third party. This saves a lot of hassle in the long
run.
