I just updated the SSHFP regression test[0] to test extra key types.

I ended up generating a bind-format zone file from the test keys in
the test script then just importing that zonefile into the DNS
provider.  This was fine for me given this was a one-time setup but
may or may not be suitable for your use case.

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
