this scenario is also mentioned in RFC 8027 [1] with the same options to solve that:

- DNSSEC depend on correct time. If the local time is wrong the system startup will fail -> to be fixed by a human - disable DNSSEC validation until the system hat a correct time -> it's convenient for the user but hard for you as implementer.

I personally prefer the first option.


For a small, "IoT" device without real-time clock, the first option is far from ideal. Typically those devices don't have a user to watch them boot. For those devices, the solution is obvious, at boot a 'ntpdate'-like program should run with a stub resolver that allows disabling DNSSEC validation.
