"However, unlike Zone Signing Key changes, NSEC3 salt changes do not need special rollover procedures. It is possible to change the salt each time the zone is updated." (Assuming that this is true, which I think it is.) Perhaps the following is helpful as well? 5.3.5 Response size considerations NSEC3 records are larger than NSEC records because of the embedded hashes. However, NSEC records are sometimes returned in response to DO=0 queries, pushing the response over the 512 byte limit and causing TCP fallback (or worse). This does not happen with NSEC3 records because their owner name does not normally match the queried name. Therefore, NSEC3 records provide better insulation of child zones from the DNSSEC deployment in the parent zone. -- Florian Weimer <fweimer@bfk.de> BFK edv-consulting GmbH http://www.bfk.de/ Kriegsstraße 100 tel: +49-721-96201-1 D-76133 Karlsruhe fax: +49-721-96201-99
