Cisco’s The Internet Protocol Journal has published an article titled Implementing DNSSEC explaining the challenges that are involved with DNSSEC and what experience the early adopters have gathered and documented.
The article by Stephan Lagerholm and Torbjörn Eklöv, both DNS architects
with significant DNSSEC experience, looks at "cache poisoning"
techniques that were discovered a few years ago. The article says “you
have most likely heard that Domain Name System Security Extensions
(DNSSEC) is the long-term cure. But you might not know exactly what
challenges are involved with DNSSEC and what experience the early
adopters have gathered and documented. Perhaps you waited with your own
rollout until you could gather more documentation about operational
experiences when rolling out DNSSEC.”
This article summarises Lagerholm and Eklöv’s experiences, including
lessons learned from implementing the technology in production
environments, and discusses associated operational concerns.
