All,

  As an FYI, see:
A major milestone is reached as the first major
top-level domain (.org) is 
http://www.esecurityplanet.com/features/article.php/3889356/Org-Signed-for-DNSSEC.htm
now secured with DNSSEC. The expense to .org for implementing DNSSEC on 
its infrastructure and operations has not been a small one. While 
specific figures as to the cost of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dnssec
DNSSEC implementation haven't been released, Afilias, which is the technical
operator of the .org registry, told InternetNews.com in 2009 that the
DNSSEC implementation would be a multi-million-dollar effort. The cost
isn't going to be passed on by .org to domain registrars. The move toward
securing the .org registry with DNS security started in September 2008,
following the Kaminsky DNS flaw disclosure.
