Hi Benoit, Anand,

Using `primaries` instead of `remote-servers` does not solves the
problem for me here (I tried on 9.18, 9.20 and the development branch).
Note that `primaries` and `remote-servers` are essentially synonyms;
see https://bind9.readthedocs.io/en/stable/changelog.html#id25

It sounds like a bug.

In meantime the key can be defined per-IP address, although it's not
convenient:

	remote-servers secondaries-server-list {
	  10.64.1.43 key internal-key;
	  10.64.1.44 key internal-key;
	  10.128.37.66 key internal-key;
	  10.128.37.67 key internal-key;
	};

Regards,
Colin Vidal
