* "If the network administrator has an out-of-band method of contacting
resolver administrators that have stored the public key as a trust anchor
(such as e-mail), the network administrator should send out appropriate
warnings and set up a trusted means of disseminating the new trust anchor.
Otherwise, the DNS administrator can do nothing except pre-publish the new
KSK with ample time to give resolver administrators enough time to learn
the new KSK."*
