Very cool. It would be useful to the African community for someone to do
a presentation on how you are doing this (as others suggested).
Would love to know if you are using an HSM or keep keys on the file
system - etc....

Make sense. I believe that Cocca has (will have) the same ability, so
technically, any ccTLD running Cocca or Fred can follow you on this.

Questions, 
doing any DNS/DNSSEC training?
what does the ccTLD structure look like?
I'm guessing..

.tz - closed - except for exciting new second levels...
.co.tz - Commercial
.or.tz - Organisations
...

So how far down are signed domains available. I get no AD bit when
looking up www.tznic.or.tz yet. Its just the 'tz' zone for now?

I'll be asking later, can I get a TZ based zone such as
'dnssec.co.tz/dnssec.or.tz' (which would be similar to
'dnssec.co.za/dnssec.na') and pass you the appropriate DS record from my
side? Take a look at 'www.dnssec.co.za'.

I'm excited for you guys!
