What are the benefits of using NSEC over NSEC3?
I realize that NSEC3 is more complicated in theory, but is there any
real difference in practice? OpenDNSSEC does all the hard work for me.

Differentiating between NSEC and NSEC3 would make my environment more
complicated and I don't think that outweighs the simplicity of NSEC.


While I understand the argument that an IPv4-reverse zone is trivially
enumerated, that will change when IPv6 becomes more common. Naively
trying every IP is just not feasible anymore. In that case NSEC will
actually be helpfull in finding adresses that are assigned.
