        To note is that dig(1) (of dnsutils) implements such a resolver
        (while not being a DNS server.)  With +sigchase and
        +trusted-key=, it's perfectly capable of DNSSEC validation.

        Yes.

        Such a package should also include the ISC DNSSEC Look-aside
        Validation [1] trusted key, BTW.
