<section xml:id="root_key"><info><title>New DNSSEC Root Key</title></info>
<para>
ICANN is in the process of introducing a new Key Signing Key (KSK) for
the global root zone. BIND has multiple methods for managing DNSSEC
trust anchors, with somewhat different behaviors. If the root
key is configured using the <command>managed-keys</command>
statement, or if the pre-configured root key is enabled by using
<command>dnssec-validation auto</command>, then BIND can keep
keys up to date automatically. Servers configured in this way
will roll seamlessly to the new key when it is published in
the root zone. However, keys configured using the
<command>trusted-keys</command> statement are not automatically
maintained. If your server is performing DNSSEC validation
and is configured using <command>trusted-keys</command>, you are
advised to change your configuration before the root zone begins
signing with the new KSK. This is currently scheduled for
October 11, 2017.

<filename>bind.keys</filename> file containing the new root
key. This file can also be downloaded from

Threads in <command>named</command> are now set to human-readable
names to assist debugging on operating systems that support that.
Threads will have names such as "isc-timer", "isc-sockmgr",
"isc-worker0001", and so on. This will affect the reporting of
subsidiary thread names in <command>ps</command> and
<command>top</command>, but not the main thread. [RT #43234]
