know you need it. For *ITERATIONS*, please consult RFC 5155, section
10.3. And be aware that a high number might overload validating
resolvers. The *SALT* is a hexadecimal string encoding the bits for
- the salt. Setting **narrow** will make PowerDNS send out "white
- lies" about the next secure record. Instead of looking it up in the
- database, it will send out the hash + 1 as the next secure record. A
- sample commandline is: "pdnsutil set-nsec3 powerdnssec.org '1 1 1

- 7), switching from NSEC to NSEC3 will require a DS update in the
- parent zone.
