Hi,

I'm new to OpenDNSSEC and despite reading through the documentation I am a 
little unclear as to the working of OpenDNSSEC.  From presentations I have been 
to, I imagined that it worked like this:


* OpenDNSSEC listens for NOTIFY messages from a Master DNS Server
* OpenDNSSEC AXFR zone transfers from Master (on NOTIFY)
* OpenDNSSEC signs, then audits zones
* OpenDNSSEC NOTIFYs slaves
* Slave DNS Servers AXFR from OpenDNSSEC

--------------------                                    ----------------------  
                                   ------------------
| Master DNS  | === NOTIFY ===> | OpenDNSSEC |===NOTIFY=====> | Slave DNS |
|-------------------                                    ----------------------- 
                                   ------------------
                                                                  |             
          |
                                                                  | ---> SIGN 
---|



However from reading documentation it seems like OpenDNSSEC doesn't do the 
final 2 steps; Send NOTIFY messages, and AXFR to requesting Slaves.  It seems 
like you need to run a DNS Server on the same box as the OpenDNSSEC,  ODS then 
triggers the rebuilding of the DNS once it has signed the zone:

conf.xml

        <Signer>
                <!--
                <Privileges>
                        <User>opendnssec</User>

                </Privileges>
                -->
                <WorkingDirectory>/var/lib/opendnssec/tmp</WorkingDirectory>
                <WorkerThreads>3</WorkerThreads>

                <!-- the <NotifyCommmand> will expand the following variables:

                     %zone      the name of the zone that was signed
                     %zonefile  the filename of the signed zone
                -->
<!--
                
<NotifyCommand>/usr/local/bin/my_nameserver_reload_command</NotifyCommand>
-->
<!--
                <NotifyCommand>/usr/sbin/rndc reload %zone</NotifyCommand>
-->
        </Signer>



Can anyone help me out?


Thanks

Scott
