On <http://www.spiegel.de/media/media-35658.pdf> p. 9 (NSA slides,
leaked to the press), the DNS resolution process is strange, as if
recursion, instead of iteration, were used by all DNS servers of the
world, including the root name servers. Too much haste in using
PowerPoint? Ignorance? Deliberate attempt to obfuscate the issue?

I'm trying to find out if this NSA attack is a good use case for
DNSSEC.
