That file does not seem to be available for Fedora 11.

So for the benefit of the F11 folks who got hit with this bug
but didn't likewise get a patch or fix, you have a couple options.


1. Disable dnssec in bind.

Edit the /etc/named.conf file and comment out (or change to "no") the
dnssec-enable option.   Also comment out all the includes at the bottom
that try to load the top level keys  (comment with two "//" to the end
of the line),

    include "/etc/pki/dnssec-keys//named.dnssec.keys";
    include "/etc/pki/dnssec-keys//dlv/dlv.isc.org.conf";

OR

2. Use dnssec by manually install the keys.

Download the current official key from ISC.  For information
(including useful instructions) see the web page
   https://dlv.isc.org/about/using

and then download the current official key, in named format,

   cd /etc/pki/dnssec-keys
   wget http://ftp.isc.org/www/dlv/dlv.isc.org.named.conf

if you're serious about security, you should validate the PGP
signature given on their web site.

Then also create the symlink (or copy the file) to its /etc location
so other programs (unbound) find it where expected,

   ln -s /etc/pki/dnssec-keys/dlv.isc.org.named.conf  /etc/named.iscdlv.key

(The reason you need to keep the key or a copy under /etc/pki/... is so
that it can be read if running named in a chroot environment)

Now edit the /etc/named.conf file and replace the include statements
at the bottom that reference /etc/pki, with just a single include

   include "/etc/pki/dnssec-keys/dlv.isc.org.named.conf";


Your bind/named DNS server should once again be happy,
and using dnssec.
