Hi James,

since the authoritative-name-server idea was rejected by the list, I was
going to propose alternative:

security-aware-resolver

The definition from RFC4033:

   Security-Aware Resolver: An entity acting in the role of a resolver
      (defined in section 2.4 of [RFC1034]) that understands the DNS
      security extensions defined in this document set.  In particular,
      a security-aware resolver is an entity that sends DNS queries,
      receives DNS responses, supports the EDNS0 ([RFC2671]) message
      size extension and the DO bit ([RFC3225]), and is capable of using
      the RR types and message header bits defined in this document set
      to provide DNSSEC services.
