[Opendnssec-user] nsec3 records for insecure empty non-terminal

Excuse my ignorance/sanity, what does it mean to have a NSEC3 iteration
of Zero? Shouldn't the minimum be 1 ?
I would also have thought that salt would be required - so a length of
Zero would be a strange thing to do. Kind of makes the Resalt value of
100 days redundant

Personally - I'd choose an iteration of 5 (something between 2 and 8)
and a salt of at least 4, though I use 8.
