I run a small ISP in South Africa - with about 2000 domains. About 200 of these are DNSSEC signed. I'm in the process of migrating them from algo 8 to algo 13. Its all scripted and the conversions are all happening automatically. The KSK-ZSK chain has to be complete through with at least one common Algorithm. I also don't want to re-sign everything at the same time - so everything is spread out over a year. I keep KSK's for a year and ZSK's for a month.
ZSK's are dealt with totally internally where as a KSK rollover means talking to the Parent zone and changing DS records - so I'm timing everything with my KSK's.

When a KSK is due to roll, create both a Algo-13 KSK and ZSK.  iUpload the appropriate DS. Once the new DS record is "seen" (and give it another day) - then delete the old DS, KSK and ZSK.

The KSK and ZSK signatures are much shorter - so you are less lightly to be used as a DDOS source for a DNS Denial of service attack (the amplification is way lower).

You don't need to increase the Key Size.


My KSK and ZSK are both of algorithm 8 and 2048 bits in size.

Is it correct to assume that -due to the growing adoption of algorithm 13- that this algorithm should be preferred? 
If so, I would like to migrate. 
But, I do have some questions to the community beforehand:

#) Can one mix KSK and ZSK algorithms? 

   (I do have a rollover of my ZSKs due in a couple of days. Thus starting with ZSKs would be convenient.)

#) Would it be wise to increase from 2048 to 4096 bits size?

Thanks in advance and with kind regards,
Michael
