Hi Sion, Thank you for the reply. That's exactly what I did, but I was more concerned what will happen if we forget about the rollover and the alerts are missed for some reason. Of course I can give it a bit more buffer, but if the rollover is missed at some point I presume the key will be marked retired and the DNSKEY not signed in the case if KSK. Is that right?
