Speaking of which, to what extent does doing DNSSEC make things
secure?   It seems to me that in the long run DNSSEC is going to be
more important to getting accurate DNS answers then what upstream
server you happen to use.  (i.e. once just about everybody has signed
their domain so you can afford to whitelist the domains that haven't
yet done so.)
