[Pdns-users] bind backend and dnssec database

goodday powerdns-users,

my company is planning the migration of our authoritative name servers  to powerdns 4.1.x  with a bind backend (managed with puppet).  this part is working as intended.

Now i'm investigating the possibilities to enable dnssec.  I enabled this on a test server as per documentation:

pdns.conf:
bind-dnssec-db=/etc/powerdns/bind-dnssec-db.sqlite3

command's
# pdnsutil create-bind-db /etc/powerdns/bind-dnssec-db.sqlite3
# pdnsutil secure-zone <zone1>

and queries are signed.  So far so good.

The question is:

can I put the bind-dnssec-db.sqlite3 inside puppet after I secured the zone.  (can it be readonly from powerdns's viewpoint)
or does powerdns need read-write acces to the bind-dnssec-db.sqlite3? (maybe for key roll over?)

and if it has to be read-write, do I have to replicate the bind-dnssec-db.sqlite3 to my other auth nameservers or do I keep the bind-dnssec-db.sqlite3 local per server?
the zone configuration is 'native' for al zone's, there is no master/slave setup.


thanks in advance,

Philip
