I'm importing an acquired company's dns rrs, and came across a record type that i've never served with tinydns before:

vpn.example.com. 86400 IN KEY 16896 4 1 AQORn/vfiBbtCqfx2SHEK4Z989FhHsVNKa5asRBLPT YoaULdPJkU9S3W +jWAEgIpLnrsoKs9/vi67HHroVQDEquZ/zd6yUiZaDl0Y0OGXgF4DUCC 42SjqUmwviMbcXq8yi8MbBjCQCQdZmY80C/ft82W59t/CimZa9sg GbFt R+Y+UTzJ75RyXwKQ7VMSIzJit1A2yy1tbUKXFRWmBOh+UFWuFTU6TRoi oMXFTN0ORDHDdV5QHo5Hnr33I91hLkpuBpInknV6NkbBeCZUHRUto7tH O4FT0

I've found RFC2535 section 3 which talks about the KEY RR and declares it type number 25. Unfortunately i'm confused how to finesse the four fields (16896, 4, 1, AQOR...) into the rdata for tinydns.

Can someone convert this into a tinydns generic syntax for me, while, more importantly, explaining it along the way?

Thanks,
