I'm not sure what you mean by "which caused IXFR to miss the update". As
far as I can remember, at the time the issue was that removing the
record would result in the IXFR not to include the removal. But marking
it removed allowed the IXFR to detect its deletion.

zone_publish_nsec3param() is also called from tools_input() when a
signconf is reread. When the signer is commanded to update a zone this
will trigger.

I have been testing today with the DNS output adapter to provoke an
incorrect IXFR but I haven't had any success so far.

If you still have a handle on the var/../tmp/<zone>.ixfr file I'd like
to see it. Perhaps the <zone>.backup2 file as well. But that has to be
from the time of the error to be useful.

It is now.
