  DNSSEC just adds some records that provide authentication
information for zone data.  The domain protocol is unchanged (other
than some new record types).  If your resolver does not request the
new records, it won't even see them.  If your nameserver does not
provide the records, DNSSEC-aware resolvers simply won't get them, and
will treat your zone(s) as unsigned.  How resolvers handle unsigned
zones is up to the operator of the resolver, but given the limited
deployment of DNSSEC at this time, I doubt anyone's going to be doing
anything soon.
