Test if your nameservers are ready for DNSSEC

DNSSEC replies are much bigger than traditional DNS answers. Typical DNS replies fit into the 512byte standard UDP DNS Packet. So if they get bigger we need EDNS Support. To test if your DNS Servers can succesfully forward bigger packages you can do this with the following command:

dig +short rs.dns-oarc.net txt

If should then output something like this:

rst.x3827.rs.dns-oarc.net.
rst.x3837.x3827.rs.dns-oarc.net.
rst.x3843.x3837.x3827.rs.dns-oarc.net.
"193.5.68.11 DNS reply size limit is at least 3843"
"193.5.68.11 sent EDNS buffer size 4096"
