Hi JP,
I can confirm that I'm testing Knot 3.2.4 at the moment and see
similar (somewhat expected) behaviour, only difference from your
config is that Knot is the master for my zones. If there are no
zone files Knot will not even generate DNS keys (automated in my
setup). But when a zone file becomes available and I issue `knotc
zone-reload ZONE`, Knot will then generate required keys and
signing the zone will work just fine. And I'm using Knot itself as
a signing backend.
Kareem.
