You have a router that supports DNSSEC that can't be made to do some
form of auto-update?

As far as I'm aware, there is no 'soft fail' for DNSSEC failures. In
the caching servers I'm familiar with, if a name fails to validate, it
used to be that it doesn't get cached and SERVFAIL is returned. Maybe
that's been fixed?
