Adding a KEY record at that name to the DNS, the private part the machine knows.I think the issue is that the machine in question may not know its own hostna me to start, much less that dnssec is in use, or that a private key is supposed to be remembered on the machine. So there's a bit of a bootstrapping problem there.
There are lots of bootstrap issues.
Of course, you can skip over that issue by letting the DHCP server do the DNS updates as a proxy for the just-DHCP'ed machine, but that has other issues...
Indeeded.
(or just pre-populate the DNS with DHCP-2001-9A98-D247-{5more}.ISP.com and be done with it like many places do for IPv4)
Which still leaves the problem of how does the machine get its name in a trusted manner.
