As a reminder, on May 1, 2009 noon UTC, we are re-inserting the record
for the GOV TLD.  This is just under one weeks time.

DNS-OARC has provided a test zone, which is NSEC3 signed.

To test that your DLV-aware resolver is ready, look up a record within
this zone, such as the SOA:

  dig +dnssec nsec3.dlvtest.dns-oarc.net soa

If your DLV-enabled resolver answers correctly, you are ready.  If it
does not, you need to upgrade.

More information on the DNS-OARC zone can be obtained from
https://www.dns-oarc.net/oarc/services/dlvtest.

Versions of BIND 9 which will work properly with NSEC3 are:

  BIND 9.6.0-P1
  BIND 9.5.1-P2
  BIND 9.4.3-P2

If you need to upgrade BIND, it is available for download from
https://www.isc.org/
