When switching over to the emergency HSM, I think you should also add 
the DNSKEY record of the old HSM's ZSK to the unsigned zone file that is 
then signed using the emergency HSM. That is because a resolver can 
still have a signature made with the old ZSK in the cache but needs to 
fetch the DNSKEY RRset from the authoritative servers.
