The "consolidated reverse zone" in-addr.arpa.cam.ac.uk is now signed

2014-01-26 - News - Chris Thompson

In November, I wrote to this list (cs-nameservers-announce):

As regards DNSSEC validation, cl.cam.ac.uk now has a chain of trust from the root zone. We expect that 232.128.in-addr.arpa will also have one before long.

This last happened earlier in January. That made it sensible to sign the "consolidated reverse zone" in-addr.arpa.cam.ac.uk which provides reverse lookup results for IPv4 addresses in the range 128.232.[128-255].x. This has now been done, and the results of such reverse lookup can be fully validated using chains of trust from the root zone.
