	Well the first version of named that supported DNSSEC RFC4034
	was BIND 9.3.0 (September 2004 even though the RFC took
	till March 2005 to be published).  The first version which
	support the DLV record type was BIND 9.3.3 (January 2007,
	DLV itself using a private type was supported in BIND 9.3.0).
	BIND 9.3 is already end-of-lifed.

	So is openSUSE still using BIND 9.2.x and pre-RFC4034 DNSSEC?
