Oh, that is quite a show-stopper. Can anybody confirm that this is not possible?

Does anybody have an idea for a workaround on how to use OpenDNSSEC in a 
scenario with split horizon DNS?


Confirmed, OpenDNSSEC is not compatible with split-dns.
ODS uses the name of the zone as an identifier. Two zones with the same name are not possible. I've not found a work-around other then running two copies of ODS.

However, realistically speaking, split-dns with dnssec is only of limited utillity. Split-dns is typically used to serve a different zone to 'internal' users that are on the same network as the DNS-server. Most often there is no seperate resolver involved. Even if there is a seperate resolver, the traffic between the client and the resolver is not secured.

My own reason for wanting to use split-dns in combination with DNSSEC is to keep my system simple. I don't want to treat the internal and external zones seperatly. I don't care about signing the internal zone, I just don't like making exceptions.

I've been told that ODS2 will contain support for split-dns and for unsigned zones.
