I vote no, if someone is setting up or testing DNSSEC, let's not encourage them to use a broken dig option!
I tried using the following command and dig core dumped. Note: www is setup as a CNAME. dig +trusted-key=trusted-key.key +topdown +sigchase +multiline -ta www.tuxedo.net I was wondering if I had done something wrong with DNSSEC... But other tools show (I think) it looks ok. drill -TD -k ../trusted-key.key www.tuxedo.net # See footnote 1 http://dnsviz.net/d/www.tuxedo.net/dnssec/ And some more digging and I found: The option is not compiled in by default upstream because it is broken. See: https://lists.isc.org/pipermail/bind-users/2012-May/087779.html https://lists.isc.org/pipermail/bind-users/2012-May/087781.html dig +trusted-key=trusted-key.key +topdown +sigchase +multiline -ta com ... ;; OK a DS valids a DNSKEY in the RRset ;; Now verify that this DNSKEY validates the DNSKEY RRset ;; VERIFYING DNSKEY RRset for com. with DNSKEY:30909: success ;; We are in a Grand Father Problem: See 2.2.1 in RFC 3568 ;; ERROR : com. is not a subdomain of: com.
