      I can only speculate, but some people might have encountered the same problems as we have realized: the world is not ready. When we switched, e.g. xerox messed up their dnssec setup. Windows driver installation aborted with a weird error - I realized that the install procedure downloads an xml file, but the hostname could not be resolved because they really had a mess. VmWare also messed it up, we could not update our ESXi servers. hP was not better: some ILOM bugs forced us to update the firmware, but there were also problems. and so forth. So we switched back to normal dns.

    It was more of a question of bootstrapping a machine without a proper clock.
    To use ntp to set the clock initially, it must resolve a DNS name. To resolve a name with DNSSEC, the clock must be more or less right.

      That would suppose a serious handicap for our octeon machines (all of which miss a proper RTC).
