One unintended consequence of DNSSEC deployment is that it has made DNS 
reflection/amplification attacks even easier - rather than have to dork around 
looking for large TXT records or issuing ANY queries, the attack is guaranteed 
that he'll get at least a 1300-byte response for all spoofed the queries he 
issues to DNSSEC-capable DNS servers.
