Hi Andrew! DNSSEC is more costly: more Ressource Records to hold on disk, to hold in memory and more queries and more IP traffic. If the DNSSEC signing is also done by the DNS provider there would be additional ressources for the signing service and risks when doing something wrong.
For a single domain, these additional ressources for DNSSEC would be neglectable, if you have 1 mio Zones signed or unsigned it makes a hughe difference to the DNS provider. So, yes, DNSSEC costs additional ressources, and depending on the business model of the DNS provider he will charge you for that (although everybody expects security to be for free) regards Klaus > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: bind-users <bind-users-boun...@lists.isc.org> Im Auftrag von Andrew > P. > Gesendet: Donnerstag, 14.
