Abstract
Multiple peer domain name system (DNS) servers are included in a multi-master DNS environment. One of the multiple peer DNS servers is a key master peer DNS server that generates one or more keys for a DNS zone serviced by the multiple peer DNS servers. The key master peer DNS server can also generate a signing key descriptor that identifies the set of one or more keys for the DNS zone, and communicate the signing key descriptor to the other ones of the multiple peer DNS servers.
