The RFC question is the reason I emailed this list.  I'm curious what the "correct" behavior should be.

dnssec-test.yehoo.org. is just a record in the yehoo.org zone.  There's an A record for that name, and an AAAA record, and nothing else.  It's not a separate zone.

I certainly haven't taken the domain offline.  It's still up, and the servers are still answering for it.

For those who are unaware of Phreebird, it's a proxying DNSSEC tool.  It signs responses in-line.  It seems like it has a bug where it'll only sign the first record in the response instead of signing them all.
