# Inline Signing with BIND

> Conceptual overview of BIND's inline signing feature and its behavior.

## Inline signing in Bind

BIND 9.9 introduces a new *inline-signing* option, which allows **named**, the name daemon on Linux, to sign zones completely transparently. A server can load or transfer an unsigned zone and create a signed version that answers all queries and transfer requests without altering the original unsigned version. As you update the unsigned zone, **named** detects the changes you made and applies those changes to the signed version. This enables a seamless transition to DNSSEC with minimal disruption to existing systems.

This integration guide provides a basic example of configuring BIND 9 to integrate with the KMES Series 3 for private key storage and signing of zone files. If you want to implement inline signing in BIND, refer to the following [**Inline Signing**](https://kb.isc.org/docs/aa-00626) article on the ISC knowledgebase website.
