Because of personal history[1], I'll throw in Nominum's ANS.  Not free  
or open source, but I believe it has all of:

(Not sure if ANS supports NSEC3 as yet).  It's fast too (or it was,  
when I used it and would be surprised if it slowed down over the years).

Not endorsing (haven't used it in over 3 years now), just adding to  
the mix.
