Yes, I wrote it for a previous employer, and they have allowed me to open source it.

It is probably more relevant than Bind10, as it uses BIND9, one tick right from the start. It supports auto PTR creation - a great help with V6, running DNSSEC zones, zone versioning, and all the important cryptographic records.

Basically it allows you to leverage distributed power of your DNSSEC zone to augment SSL signed certs through TLSA, and oppurtunistic IPSEC.

In IPSEC all the key material is in a separate process from the data, and it is more effecient if the relationship is a lasting over a period of time.
