[dns-operations] DNSSEC Signatures failed in Top-Level Domain fr.

Thank you Thomas,

Well, we had around 12% of the 800 000 RRSIG records that expired today.
While it should not happen (I'm still looking to find out what went
wrong) because signatures are supposed to be spread over time in the .fr
zone to avoid to re-sign lot's of them at the same time.

Our monitoring system did not detect this case while it is supposed to be
addressed. I just found out that a bug was introduced in it recently when I
worked on the algorithm rollover from RSA to ECDSA. We had to modify
many configurations, scripts, processes during this transition and it
seems I missed something :-/

The zone has been re-generated and records with signatures close to
expire have been re-signed.

Thank you for all the alerts I received from many of you, that allowed to
fix it as fast as possible (it could had been better, but Murphy's
laws...).

Best regards,

    Vincent
