New BIND 9.2.0 Features
Chapter 1 25
dnssec-signkey -s start-time Specify the data and time when
the generated SIG records become
valid. This can be either an
absolute or relative time. If no
start-time is specified, the current
time will be used.
dnssec-signzone -d directory Look for signedkey files in
directory as the directory.
dnssec-signzone -h Print a short summary of the
options and arguments to
dnssec-signzone.
dnssec-signzone -i interval Specify the cycle interval as an
offset from the current time (in
seconds). If a SIG record expires
after the cycle interval, it is
retained. Else, it is considered to
be expiring soon and will be
replaced. The default cycle
interval is one quarter of the
difference between signature end
and start times. If neither
end-time nor start-time is
specified, dnssec-signzone
generates signatures that are
valid for 30 days and with a cycle
interval of 7.5 days. If any existing
SIG record expires in less than 7.5
days, they would be replaced.
dnssec-signzone -n ncpus Specify the number of threads to
use. By default, one thread is
started for each CPU.
dnssec-signzone -o origin Specify the zone origin. If no zone
origin is specified, the name of the
zone file will be considered as the
origin.
