Root Zone DNSSEC Deployment Technical Status Update

Sun May 16 18:14:58 UTC 2010

Hi,

I was building a test domain for trying out the dnssec. However as mentioned
on various websites "ad" appears in the flags, but i can't see it. The
domain i am using is not real and i am testing from the same machine,
Fedora-12. Any help?

Thanks

options {
        dnssec-enable yes;
        dnssec-validation yes;
};

[root at ns1 named-data]# dig +dnssec @localhost www
; <<>> DiG 9.6.2-P1-RedHat-9.6.2-3.P1.fc12 <<>> +dnssec @localhost www
