[dns-operations] Announcement: Test Report on DNSSEC impact on SOHO CPE

[Peter Dambier]

Hi Ray,

thank you for the report.

I am missing the AVM Fritzbox stuff. They are almost a monopoly here
in Germany because they are sponsored by ISPs.

The result should compare to the 17. Netopia.

Especially the Telekom / T-Online variety has very old software.

Linux 2.4.17 malta mips from May 2005,
guess how many bugs in bind have been fixed in the meantime :)

kind regards
Peter
