I had to resign our .com zone as the old signer was mismatched with the rest of the nameservers – i sorted it but my question is there a good alert website / mailing list that might alert that other keys where revoked on x date without going to dnsviz to see failure. I am … Read More “question on dnssec key rollovers and notification” »

Hoping this is an alright place to ask this. I’ve built a product which has a custom domains feature. We’re starting to get more and more support queries by people wanting setup instructions for varying DNS providers.
