> We found deSEC to be the only affordable DNS supplier in the EU that complies with state of the art secure DNSSEC.

I mean, if your definition of "affordable" is free, then sure.

But for the record there are other affordable EU suppliers who do DNSSEC:

    - Bunny DNS[0] is "free" – i.e. only subject to their minimum $1/month account spend fee.
    - RcodeZero is very affordable[1] plus added bonus it is run by the `.at` registry so the infrastructure is solid – business customers only, no private individuals
    - Netnod (only via resellers[2] unless you are a big company or government) – Netnod host the I Root Servers and their public hosting DNSSEC service will soon feature HSM-bound DNSSEC keys

I happen to run an affordable EU supplier who does DNSSEC, and also AXFR (incoming and outgoing). I offer a free plan from time to time, but not at the moment to preserve resources for paying customer.

Are you aware that the child zone A(AAAA) records for danube.ns.ptrdns.net differs from the parent zone A(AAA) glue records for danube.ns.ptrdns.net?

Looks like it's the glue records that point to the actual server?

Thanks for letting me know!

This is fixed now, I'll look into why the monitoring tools didn't catch this one as they should have.

We have a support ticket at Bunny that has been open for months precisely because they don’t provide state-of-the-art DNSSEC. We had to move to another provider, as we have a deadline to comply with at the end of this month. I don’t know what the issue is off the top of my head.

Netnod.se uses a DNSKEY that is too small on their main domain.

Rcodezero.at might indeed be something. Thanks.

We donate to deSEC, so it’s not free for us.

Interesting, could you expand on that ?

I ran netnod.se through the Verisign[1] and internet.nl[2] and it passes DNSSEC tests ?

Sure: zonemaster[1] is the tool we use [2]. It checks for keylengths and other things and allows policies to be defined on them. It comes with a fairly well defined / modern policy but in our Dutch .foundation article you can read that one should be a bit stricter. However, the default policy of zonemaster warns about the keylength of netnod.se [3]

Internet.nl does not look at DNSSEC that extensively, allowing poorer quality configurations to pass. You can see what they check in the explanations of both DNSSEC metrics [4]. See [5] for discussions about keylength.

Verisign does check for key validity but not for key strength / length as seen in your link.

Super, thanks. zonemaster added to my bookmarks !

Also have a look at gonemaster, the modern replacement: https://gonemaster.evilbit.de/

One who doesn't is frustratingly Hetzner.
