tsig-04 Time expire/Time Signed
These fields are specified as unsigned 32 bit ints. Now these
have fields have a limited lifetime of ~110 years (with
potential implementation problems in 40 years time). Now while
most of us are unlikely to be around in 110 years that is a chance
that the TSIG will still be in use in 110 years time. Remeber lots of
current code is already ~40 years old and is still in use.
Now SIG has a similar problem to this and I'm not sure what they
intended to do about this.
