Actually, this may be a bug.

My original  .key files contain for example:


nsupdate-home.xxxxxxxxxxxx.org. IN KEY 512 3 157 
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx==

yet on the m0n0wall, this information has changed to:

nsupdate-home.xxxxxxxxxxx.org. IN KEY 257 3 157 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx==

The size of the key has changed from 512 bit to 257 bit.  Or am I 
missing something else here?

Simon
