	There are still outstanding issues that were raise on
	namedroppers that the authors have not responded to.

	1. tig-04 incompatable w/ RFC 2136 (UPDATE). One of the primary
  	   roles of TSIG is to allow DHCP or other clients to update DNS with
	   authentication, this supposed to work whether you contact the
	   master or the slave. tsig-04 as it currently is prevents it
	   working through a slave.

	2. seconds since Jan 1 1970 is not clearly defined. Do or do
	   they not include leap seconds? The time to live of signature
	   is of the order of the number of leap seconds that have been
	   currently added between 1970 and now.

	3. expire and time signed fields are to small.
