DNSSEC and TSIG, except that most operating systems don't already
ship with libidnkit.

All I know is what you find in the BIND source code directory. For
example, with BIND 9.7.0b2:
$ ./configure --help | grep idn
--with-idn=MPREFIX enable IDN support using idnkit default PREFIX
--with-idnlib=ARG specify libidnkit
$ less README.idnkit
Due to my lack of time and because at the same time I use
BIND/Windows on my XP machine to test my own way to use the DNS in
the IDNA suggested context; I selected 9.5.2.
I understand from quick digging that the IDN libs are of 2003. Since
I mainly want to work on them, I feel this os OK. Except if they have
been updated?
Best.
