Unfortunly, this does not work.
Assume a TLD with different NS entries depending on the signing party:
- A injects NS1 and NS2 for TLD and signs those records with key kA.
- B injects NS3 and NS4 for TLD and signs those records with key kB.
In the root zone the records are merged:
- Requests to TLD return four NS records: NS1 to NS4.
- The DNSSEC validator gets two possible signatures which both fail
to verify the set of four NS records.
