When deploying DNSSEC, I found it surprising that no one has built a protocol for this. Some registrars seem to support in-house web APIs, but there's no one standard™.

Anyway, very good response overall. I understand the original writer wanted attention as he wrote "I did put things more bluntly to get attention, and that has succeeded. I hope to have better news later next week" in HN comments.


Although it wasn't the intent of the post, I am bookmarking this as "How to setup DNSSEC" for future reference.


Actually I half suspect that the intent of the original post was to elicit a DNSSEC-enthusiast-approved how-to like the one we see here. After all, the best way to ask how to do something online isn't to ask politely while including all relevant details, but to obnoxiously claim to the right audience that it can't be done.
