Because folks who aren't validating see no problems, thus discouraging people from leaving validation on. To wit, on NANOG: > From: Ray Van Dolson <rvandol...@esri.com> "I saw the same errors in dnsviz, but was unsure if they were sufficient to cause lookup failures (they were "warnings" only). # dig @8.8.8.8 disa.mil MX +dnssec ... I do note that once we disabled DNSSEC on our resolvers we were able to push mail out to these domains. May have been coincidental -- needs further testing." I figure it would be nice to give people the option of disabling validation for a single domain instead of turning validation off for everything. Regards, -drc
