An anonymous reader notes the coming milestone of May 5, at 17:00 UTC — at this time DNSSEC will be rolled out across all 13 root servers. Some Internet users, especially those inside corporations and behind smaller ISPs, may experience intermittent problems. The reason is that some older networking equipment is pre-configured to block any reply to a DNS request that exceeds 512 bytes in size. DNSSEC replies are typically four times as large.
