OT: SPF and DNSSEC
Doesn't SPF and the general increase in the likelihood of DNS attack
necessitate signing zone files?

We haven't done so yet because of the performance cost. Albitz and Liu
paint a pretty daunting picture in their book (DNS and BIND, 4th ed. pp
362-363).

Are you folks already signing? Are you planning to?

We use djbdns and according to the author, it is immune from DNS attacks
poisoning etc.. and so far no issues here. Bind on the other hand may have
some issues.
