It shouldn't, but it could, mainly if paypal got something wrong (for
instance RRSIGS have times before which they're not valid and times
after which they're not valid. If your server has cached an RRSIG with a
long TTL so that it's returning an RRSIG that's out of time, that could
explain this.)


I run dnsmasq with DNSSEC enabled in production and keep logs. Every so
often I check the logs and look at the domains which failed DNSSEC. 95%
of the time, by the time I get to do the check, the queries complete
successfully. Transient errors seem to be a fact of life with DNSSEC.

The result of the queries


 dig @212.202.215.1 +cd  +dnssec  paypal.com
 dig @212.202.215.1 rrsig  paypal.com

would be interesting.

Cheers,

Simon.
