Enable NSEC3 semantics for domain

This function configures the domain to use Next Secure Record 3 (NSEC3) semantics.

Note:

Only servers that run PowerDNS can use DNSSEC. If you call this function on a server that doesn't use PowerDNS, you will receive an error.

The domain for which to enable NSEC3 semantics.

Example: domain=example.com

required
integer [ 1 .. 500 ]

The number of times that the system re-executes the first resource record hash operation.

nsec3_narrow
required
integer

Whether NSEC3 will operate in Narrow mode or Inclusive mode.
