I have a zone defined in which I permit dynamic updates. Many years ago, I defined a key per name, and added that key into the update-policy attribute in the zone definition.

For example:

key "foo.bar.baz.com" {
  algorithm hmac-md5;
  secret "12345..890";
};


zone "bar.baz.com" {
  type master;
  update-policy {
    grant "foo.bar.baz.com" selfsub foo.bar.baz.com TXT;
  };
};

The theory being, the holder of the key named "foo.bar.baz.com" is able to manipulate TXT records in foo.bar.baz.com and all of its subdomains.

But now I'd like to move away from those old md5 keys. I would like to find a way to define a second key which will work along side, during the transition, the existing md5 key. When everyone is using the new key, I'd then remove the old md5 key.

But as far as I can tell, the name of the key needs to match the hostname in the update-policy statement. I can define a new aes-256 key, but it can't have the name "foo.bar.baz.com" while the current md5 key is defined. Nor can I find a way to craft an update-policy statement line to let a new key with a different name manipulate the desired TXT records, while letting the current key continue to work.

Is there a way to get the configuration I want? or must I make a wholesale swap of each md5 key for something newer?

Do things because you should, not just because you can.
