Re: EvilDude, Round 2

I think he means that a client should be able to determine if a
KSK/SSK was inserted as a manual redirect to another key, or if the
KSK/SSK was inserted with data and a redirect to the content was
automatically created by the node.

Is it possible to separate this in the node? This would be a great and
simple solution.
