Note however, that with the "za" TLD unsigned, most sites will not
be able to validate your zone keys/signature. At least my DNS
resolver is not using any DLV look-aside servers. So in effect
your domain looks like an unsigned non-DANE domain.

The digest can either cover the entire certificate, or just the
enclosed public key. I recommend the latter. Starting with
a certificate file, you can obtain the hex bits via:

    $ openssl x509 -in cert.pem -noout -pubkey |
    openssl pkey -pubin -outform DER |
    openssl dgst -sha256 | 
    awk '{printf "IN TLSA 3 1 1 %s\n", $NF}'


This is of course somewhat moot with "za" unsigned.
