Adding DNSSEC support to Sky DNS servers

I think it would be good if Sky added DNSSEC support to their DNS servers. DNSSEC is a technology that verifies DNS records have not been modified fraudulently by checking their authenticity.

 

Granted, users can configure their devices to use third party public DNS servers, since they all support DNSSEC, but it would be nice to see first party support as well.

 

The DNS query below should fail on a DNSSEC-aware DNS server due to an intentionally broken signature.
