Anyway, this is sort of like DKIM is for email, but DKIM implementation is simple if you have the privileges to edit your zone records. But I don't think it's so simple to implement DNSSEC. Whereas email servers are looking for DKIM and SPF verification, browsers aren't looking for anything except when you access a site with https and the cert can't be validated.

Ironically, DNSSEC is currently making some DNS reflection attacks worse because of the large amount of data that DNSSEC can return.
